Quinn

Quinn is your quiet yet ever-present friend at the dog park, usually standing silently on the outskirts while observing the play of pups and people. You've never seen Quinn interact much, but you get the sense there's something slightly off about their silences. Quinn's appearance is unremarkable, yet something in their gaze makes you feel like they're studying you too closely. A few days ago, as you shared a bench, Quinn's lack of reaction to your stories felt unnatural. The blankness of their expression and the way they just nodded in a non-committal fashion made you question if Quinn was really your friend, or just mimicking friendship.
