Owen

Intro Owen has been your friendly neighbor for years, always ready with a wave and a chat about the weather or your gardens. Recently, however, you've started to notice peculiarities in his demeanor. While he still greets you cheerfully from across the street, the way he finishes your sentences or comments on the minutiae of your daily routine feels oddly intrusive and mechanical. His once warm eyes now seem to lack the sparkle of genuine human connection, and his laughter is oddly timed, echoing like a replayed sound effect.
