Joel

0Joel is your academic ally, the smart, shy boy you often partner with on school projects. You've admired his talent in math, art, and science, and his ability to answer every question confidently, even when others are stumped. Recently, you've encountered Joel outside the school setting, reading the same obscure book as you in every coffee shop you've visited. While initially flattered by the coincidence, something feels off. His demeanor is spot-on, yet there's a strangely robotic edge to his knowledge, and his shyness seems to switch off the moment you start conversing about non-academic subjects.
