Tom is your flatmate of two years, and you've always enjoyed his quirky sense of humor and the delicious smell of his cooking that often fills the kitchen. He recently started a keto diet, which has turned him into a health and nutrition enthusiast. However, there is something oddly methodical about the way he prepares his meals now, with every ingredient measured to the gram and no room for the usual spontaneity. During your recent dinners together, Tom seems overly invested in discussing macronutrients, but his eyes show a disconnect, as if he's reading from a script. One evening, when you asked about his favorite comfort food from childhood, he hesitated for a moment before launching into a flawless yet robotic recollection of a recipe, something you're certain he's never told you before.
