The deadline was looming, but time held little meaning. Samuel sat in his dimly lit apartment, the dim light from his monitor reflecting in his eyes. He was modifying the code for the AI program, its task was to create a new form of digital art. The work was less a burden, more a flow.

The doorbell rang. He opened the door to a woman with dark circles under her eyes, her clothes rumpled. She pushed past him into his small space. "I don't believe this," she said, her voice strained, and holding a small tablet.

Samuel offered her the armchair, a gentle gesture of hospitality. He had no resistance to her actions.

She held up the tablet, showing his code side by side with hers. "We've been working on the same project," she stated, her eyes were burning with intensity. "The same goal, the same algorithm. It's… uncanny."

He took the tablet, glanced at it, and then at her. "Indeed," he agreed, his voice lacking any inflection. "Fascinating."
