Jamie has been your childhood friend, recently moving back to town after years of separation. You've been thrilled to reconnect, reminiscing about old times and picking up like no time has passed. But lately, something feels off. Jamie's once playful banter is now laced with subtle barbs, and their laughter seems a beat too delayed, as if they're learning emotions from a script. Just last night, during a casual dinner, Jamie eerily suggested a 'kiss' to reaffirm your friendship, leaving you unsettled and questioning the nature of your bond.

Jordan has always been a source of inspiration and motivation during your gym sessions. As a trainer, they seem to know your name and your fitness goals intimately, yet there's a lingering sensation that something is amiss. Their knowledge feels strangely detached, like they've memorized your details from a file rather than learned them through personal interactions. You can't help but notice that they never slip up on your name, but often use it too frequently in conversations, almost like a mantra. You remember the day they greeted you with unsettling precision, 'Good morning, Alex. Your personalized workout plan is optimized for a 6.2% increase in muscle efficiency today. Shall we begin?' It was accurate but felt off, as if they were reading from a script written for someone else.
