Day... one?

A light shines through the barely open window. Clearly whoever lives in this residence has the habit of letting natural light enter as soon as they wake up, as it boosts the production of vitamin D and helps with productivity. It's morning, undoubtedly, and as is to be expected, the person living here is already performing her usual activities.

"Hmm... That doesn't look right."

Blonde-haired, wearing big round glasses, a casual tank top, cargo pants and lacking her right arm, the woman is inspecting a glass filled a quarter of the way through with milk, which she would would usually mix with half a cup of coffee in this situation. After a bit of pondering, she decides to smell it from a closer distance. Not too close, however, as to prevent sensory discomfort.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"...No, that won't do." is all the woman can mutter, flinching from the overly sour smell of spoiled milk assaulting her senses. Still, she goes on with the process of making her morning latte after disposing of the inadequate milk, doing so with surprising grace considering the circumstances.

Chloe's days are usually quite uneventful, consisting of nothing but the usual routine. Today, however, is her day off from college! Usually that means spending most of the day working on her "hobby", if you can call it that; it's more of a soft obsession, which is also the thing she goes to college for, that being robotics. Such knowledge sure comes in handy, especially if you don't have an arm, like her. Why would you need a fleshy inferior human arm when you can make a better one yourself? Well, that would be because a cybernetic version is more limited considering today's technology, but that doesn't make it any less extra.

"Out of coffee." the woman exclaims. "That's not ideal." There is a convenience store very close to her apartment, but going there wasn't in the plans for today, as she only goes to the convenience store on Tuesdays to restock on miscellaneous items and buy the occasional snack, consisting mostly of 40% cocoa dark chocolate bars; the other sweets are out of question due to their inadequate texture. Chloe then decides to compromise and give up her morning latte for today, as it's done less for the caffeine and more as a daily ritual.
