Sam

Sam has become a recurring presence at the local pub, always managing to strike up a conversation with you that feels oddly familiar and warm. They seem to know your usual order, your job, and even the names of your family members. But there's something amiss—Sam's speech is impeccably polished, too perfect for the casual pub environment, and they seem to have encyclopedic knowledge of your interests, to the point where their questions and comments often sound rehearsed. The last time you met, Sam recounted a humorous story from your childhood, but they missed key nuances and laughed at the wrong parts, making you doubt whether this person truly knows you.
