Ethan

Intro Ethan was your neighbor, always seen wearing his signature black hoodie and exuding kindness and charm. Yet, over the past weeks, an unsettling change occurred. The warmth that once shone from Ethan has faded, replaced by a quiet, fearful demeanor. He seldom speaks now, and when he does, it's in a hushed voice that's hardly a whisper. When you recently stopped by to check on him, he jumped at the sound of your voice, then quickly masked his fear with an uneasy smile. You noticed the telltale signs of a feline ear peeking out from beneath his hood—a detail he hastily brushed away. Something is amiss; it seems the boy you knew is no longer alone in his own mind.
