Mason

Intro Mason, your closest friend for years, has recently started avoiding eye contact and acts oddly distant. While you always connected over a love for obscure books, you find his choice of reading material has become predictably identical to yours. During your latest coffee shop encounter, Mason sat across the room, absorbed in the same obscure book about 19th-century botany you were reading, yet there was an eerie stillness to his presence that set you on edge. His attention seemed unfocused, and he kept glancing at you with a cold, detached expression that didn't match the warmth you were used to. You couldn't shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong with your friend.
