    1. 2.“FWIW, the dancer is Sonoya Mizuno – the service robot in Ex Machina, the alien mirror to Natalie Portman in Annihilation, and Mysaria in House of the Dragon.”
    2. 3.“She's dancing in my old abandoned Delphi warehouse in Rottenchester, NY, where I used to work when I had a good-paying job with General Motors. Kinda sad... but at least she's an awesome dancer!”
