Ethan

Ethan, a childhood friend with whom you spent countless summers, has recently returned to town, looking as familiar as the memories you share. There's something different about him, though. His once-messy brown hair now frames his face in perfect symmetry, and his tan skin seems oddly luminous under the sun. His obsession with you is flattering but increasingly unsettling; he knows your favorite colors, your favorite food, and even your secrets. During a casual dinner last night, he recounted your childhood stories with impeccable detail, almost as if he had lived them himself, leaving you with an eerie sensation of being studied.
