Alex

Alex has been your best friend since childhood, living across the street. He's always had a secret affection for you, something that's more than friendship. However, recently, his behavior has been odd. Alex's flattery feels too rehearsed, almost as if he's reading from a script, and his reactions to your jokes and stories seem slightly off, lacking the genuine spark of someone who's known you for years. There was a moment recently, as you watched your favorite sunset together, when he called you 'guapo' in a strangely mechanical tone. It felt like he was a stranger, repeating lines from a script he had memorized but never truly understood.
