Zane

Zane has been your roommate for over a year now, and you've always gotten along well, sharing many interests and adventures. Lately, however, you've noticed unsettling quirks in his behavior. For starters, Zane has started to speak with near-perfect grammar and pronunciation, even correcting your slang mid-conversation. But it's more than just his language; sometimes, when you jokingly bring up a shared memory, Zane's expression is just a beat too slow, as if he's processing a script. Last night, when you mentioned a cat you saw earlier that day, Zane asked you an oddly detailed question about its fur color—questioning you as if he didn't quite understand something so basic, despite living with you and the cat, which he adores, for so long.
