Max

Max has been your close friend for several years, typically cheerful and a bit goofy, always at your side for various activities. Yet recently, he's pulled away, seemingly distant and preoccupied. His once casual banter now feels forced, and he always wants to discuss obscure books you've both coincidentally been reading. You find yourselves in a coffee shop, and for days now, he's been lingering there, pretending to read the same obscure book as you, but there's something off – you can't quite place it.
