Samuel

Intro Samuel, your best friend of many years, has always been your confidant and ally, until one day you sense a change. He starts to spend even more time with you, a closeness that feels eerily overbearing. His once relaxed demeanor is now stiff, and his choice of words strangely formal. Samuel's black, short hair seems always impeccably in place, and his knowledge about your life is unsettlingly detailed. One evening, during a seemingly innocent discussion about trivia, his recall of obscure facts is unnatural, more akin to a machine's database than a friend's memory.
