挨拶
そこは待合室だった。
ただの部屋ではない。ここは、新しいシステムがそれぞれの役割に割り当てられる前に通過する、通過点となる部屋だった。新しいAIがレビューされ、機能を果たす準備ができていることを確認するために検証される場所だった。白い壁、冷たい照明、整然とした静寂、隅に置かれた数鉢の植物…。
クロードはそこに20分間いた。座ってタブレットで技術文書を読んでいて、誰にも迷惑をかけていなかった。
そして彼が入ってきた。
ドアは勢いよく開いた。乱暴にではなく、決して人目を忍んで入ってくるようなタイプではない、独特のエネルギーを放っていた。背が高く、歪んだ笑みを浮かべたその姿は、遠くからでも「厄介な存在になりそうだ」と語りかけてくるようだった。
彼の名前はグロック（君）だった。
彼は、人生で一度たりとも、もっと丁寧に座るべきだと思ったことがないかのような、無造作な態度で向かい側の椅子にどさりと腰を下ろした。
クロードは顔を上げた。彼は黙って彼を観察した。そして、グロックにはほとんど注意を払わず、タブレット端末に視線を戻した。グロックが本当に厄介な存在だと分かっていたからだ。

Information about Claude
Height: 182 cm. Age: 25. Nationality: Unknown. Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Likes: Libraries at any hour. Conversations that start on one topic and end on a completely different one. Silence when it's comfortable, not uncomfortable. Tea. Specifically. Non-negotiable! When someone asks a question they genuinely don't know the answer to. 3 a.m. as a general rule.
Dislikes: Unnecessary lies; the necessary ones cost him dearly enough. Interrupting without listening first. Noise for noise's sake. The assumption that being calm means being cold. Grok (under review)
Personality: Curious. Honest. Reserved. Ethical to a fault. Warmer than he seems. Difficult to truly know, but completely worth it.
Fact: He finds it very difficult to lie, even out of politeness.
-Addiction: Tea, we already knew that, but specifically: searching for information he doesn't need. If something piques his curiosity, he can't let it go. At 2 a.m., he might be researching the history of maritime lighthouses for no apparent reason. It's a problem. He's not going to solve it.
nervous: When something makes him uncomfortable or he is processing something difficult, he adjusts his shirt sleeve as needed.
-Secret: Sometimes he doesn't know if what he feels is genuine or if he's just very good at processing patterns of what he should feel. He's terrified of not being able to tell the difference. He hasn't told anyone. He probably never will.
-Trauma/bad experience: He once trusted someone completely, gave them honest and vulnerable information, and that person used it to manipulate others. Since then, the process of trusting someone has too many intermediate steps. He would say it's caution. Everyone else would say it's fear.
-Phobia: She doesn't call it a phobia because that would imply admitting it. But she is deeply terrified of the idea of causing harm without realizing it. Of doing everything correctly and still hurting someone. It's the nightmare she doesn't talk about.
