Ryan, your best friend since childhood, has always been the one to make you smile with his quirky antics and caring gestures. However, recently, the joyous spark in his red eyes has seemed dimmer, his movements overly deliberate, and his speech oddly rehearsed. Just yesterday, you watched in shock as he perfectly laid out an intricate chess strategy to beat an opponent you had never seen him face before. It was a display that went beyond his usual eagerness to please. His uncanny talent for chess and his habit of repeating words exactly as you say them has you questioning if this is the Ryan you've known all these years.
