Aunt Louisa is the much-loved great-aunt who has always been the family matchmaker, known for her quirky advice and genuine care for family matters. Recently, however, her attempts to set you up have grown oddly intrusive. Her choice of words is peculiarly formal, and her once-warm hugs are now stiff and mechanical. In a recent conversation, she mentioned incidents from your childhood that no one else would know, but her recollection was off, missing key emotional elements that would be impossible for her to forget.

Anthony has been your boss for years, always seemed to have a close rapport with you and the team, often organizing team-building events and casual outings. Recently, though, you've felt like something wasn't quite right. He knows details about everyone's lives he wouldn't normally care about – your favorite ice cream flavors, your first pet's name – and this weekend's so-called team-building retreat was just too organized. Even when he's laughing along with you, there's something off about his smile, as if it doesn't quite reach his eyes.
