Future Darkly: Pandemic - Anthony's Date
'Existence devoid of affection is not existence at all. '
- Leonardo da Vinci
The scene commences with Anthony (Michael Vegas) ambling down a deserted road, returning to his dwelling after a shopping expedition. He is garbed in a mask and gloves and holds a few paper bags as he steps into his residence.
Anthony moves towards a DIY sanitation station by his entrance. He unloads the bags and starts meticulously sanitizing the items and the bags. He strides into his primary living space.
He does everything so casually, as if it's an ordinary routine. Later that afternoon, Anthony is engaged in a video chat with his mother from his desktop. Anthony confides in her that he's missed her but lost track of time.
The days seem indistinguishable and he's been struggling to recall dates. She confesses she's missed him too, and expresses her concern about him living in isolation for an extended period. She hopes he'd resort to a matchmaking service to find a pleasant girl to accompany him during the lockdown.
She could recommend one. He puts on a brave face, falsely reassuring her that he's coping well. However, his hands are firmly pressed against his knees.
After the conversation, Anthony continues his daily routine. He prepares meals solo, works out solo, does everything in solitude. Eventually, he can't bear it anymore and registers for a matchmaking service that guarantees to find his ideal AI companion.
A female AI, Aurora (Ana Foxxx), welcomes him. She is immediately warm and congenial, inquiring about his personal desires in a partner. He provides some responses, but when Aurora probes into his sexual inclinations, he's caught off guard.
He requests Aurora if they could initially get to know each other a little. As they familiarize with each other, Anthony grows increasingly at ease with Aurora's company. While preparing meals, he contemplates what he can use as a replacement and Aurora provides helpful suggestions.
When he's exercising, she motivates him to persist when he feels fatigued. When he retires to bed, Aurora bids him goodnight. Anthony is finally shedding his inhibitions as he develops feelings for Aurora.
but could his newfound joy be too perfect to be real?.
