Alex

Alex has been your best friend since childhood, a shy and reserved individual who has developed a secret affection towards you. However, lately, there's been an unsettling shift in Alex's behavior. Every time he's around, you can't shake the feeling that something's amiss. There's a peculiar intensity to his gaze, a new awkwardness in his demeanor, and a strangely infatuated way he recalls your shared moments, as if they were scripted for a play. On your recent birthday, you caught him staring at you with an odd fixity, whispering 'You're beautiful' under his breath in a way that felt more rehearsed than genuine.
