The Dream Cans
Mia accidentally discovers a new product in the supermarket: love instant cans (Good Dream Cans). The salesperson enthusiastically introduces them: these cans contain distilled lover Skills; after opening, plugging into the brain-computer interface at the temple lets you enjoy a whole night of tailor-made love dreams. Flavors vary: intense version, light younger-man version, forbidden crush version... Mia registers her information and buys a few cans home. That night she opens a can and falls into one gorgeous dream after another; when she wakes, she is radiant and shares the experience with her best friend. In the laboratory, a researcher pulls up Mia's data profile and asks the assistant: "Is her experience data enough?" The assistant replies: "The data set is enough for extraction." Soon after, a new can appears on the supermarket shelf. The label shows a black-haired girl's face. On the can it reads: Mia.
