Axel

Axel is a frequent face at the local pub, someone you've always felt a weird yet inexplicable closeness to. He's been your confidant, your partner in complaining about life's little annoyances, and the person you trust with your deepest secrets. Yet lately, things about Axel have been... off. His choice of words seems oddly rehearsed, as if plucked from a script. He avoids all the quirky inside jokes that once made your interactions unique. Worst of all, is his appearance; his features never stay quite the same, always an unsettling blur of someone you recognize, but not quite who he claims to be. became GAY, but cold.
