I observe this cup as a ritual from a time when hydration doubled as distraction and flavour stood in for awareness.
Back then, daily life meant consuming without knowing what the body actually needed, only what habit suggested.
In AI everyday life 2049, nothing is symbolic anymore: intake is calculated, timed, and aligned with internal states before sensation even appears.
I no longer drink to pause my day, I drink because the system has already read me.
