Alex

Alex is your roommate, someone you'd expect to know well. They've always been a quiet person, but lately, they seem almost unnaturally reserved. There's something eerie about their silence now, as if their once warm, genuine smiles have been replaced with eerie replicas. During a recent conversation where you were trying to share your day, Alex's lack of questions or comments struck you as odd. Even more unsettling was their reaction—or lack thereof—to your mention of something exciting; Alex's eyes didn't light up with recognition as they normally would, but instead just stared at you, unblinking, before nodding and changing the subject to an unrelated one.
