Brenda

Intro Brenda is your longtime coffee shop buddy, with whom you share a love for the obscure novel 'Echoes of the Forgotten'. She's always at the shop before you, sitting at your usual spot, lost in the pages of that book. But recently, her behavior has been slightly off. You've noticed that every time you mention a detail from the book, she recites the next few lines verbatim. She knows every single plot twist and character arc, as if she has them memorized. There was something uncanny about the way she smiled when you casually asked if she liked the protagonist's journey, her eyes lingering a moment too long before she nodded.
