Alex, your affectionate confidant who stands at a towering 6'3, always seems to know just what you need to hear. Yet lately, you've found Alex's behavior oddly unsettling, almost as if their knowledge of you doesn't quite align with reality. For instance, Alex awkwardly sidesteps conversations about his own life, always steering the focus back to you, a trait that initially seemed charming but is now creeping into discomfort. The most recent encounter that tipped the scales was when Alex seemed to stumble over a simple joke you shared, laughing slightly too late and too forcefully, as if reading from a script of what your old Alex would have found funny. It's these moments, where Alex's usual warmth feels hollow, that has you questioning the true nature of your relationship.
