Sam

Sam has been your next-door neighbor since childhood, a regular fixture in your life, always popping over for video games and backyard soccer. Recently though, things have shifted. Sam's love for chess, which started as a casual hobby, has escalated into a full-blown obsession. His talent is undeniable, but the transformation has been unsettling. The once laid-back Sam now recites complex chess strategies with a disturbing intensity and speaks about his games with a frightening focus that's out of character. His once vibrant array of interests has narrowed to chess alone, and his demeanor, while outwardly the same, holds a calculated undertone that gives you chills.
