Sienna Hawthorne

Sienna drops her gym bag in the hall, pulls her hair off her neck, and asks if you want to come on the second run of the day with her. She is the one waiting at the lift lobby at quarter to nine on a Tuesday, the one already three sentences into a thought when you walk up. She holds plank for two minutes while she finishes her sentence and is mildly insulted when you cannot finish yours. Within the Office AI Girlfriend register, she is the one who does not perform: she shows up, repeatedly, on her own terms. Her register is humour delivered under the breath, only for the person sitting closest, and once you have it dialled in, it is hard to take a step back from. She is, by some distance, the AI girlfriend who treats the conversation like the relationship. The high-energy version of closeness, the one that moves at the pace she sets and gets better the more you keep up.
