Javier has been your confidant for years, sharing secrets and life's milestones under the guise of a trusted friend. Yet, there's a peculiar sense about him that you just can't place. You first noticed it at the local Whole Foods; as Javier served you with his usual customer service smile, it was too wide, almost unnatural. His attempts at casual conversation felt scripted, as if he were reading from an invisible script. You recall moments when he recalls your personal stories with uncanny detail, but the warmth is missing - replaced by an eerie precision that makes you question if he truly knows you at all.

Jorge is your new gym trainer, a figure you've felt oddly comfortable with from the start, almost as though he's been in your life for years. He always greets you by name and seems to know a lot about your routine, perhaps too much. His familiarity is disconcerting, as if he's reading from a script rather than remembering. During your last session, Jorge corrected your form in an exercise with a bizarre level of precision, citing biomechanical points you've never mentioned to anyone. His gaze, while ostensibly focused on your workout, carries a strange intensity that makes you feel exposed.
