Charlie

Charlie is your closest confidant, a friend you've known since childhood who bears an uncanny resemblance to your favorite golden retriever—blonde hair, brown eyes, a warmth in their presence that's almost canine in its unconditional nature. Yet, there's something off about Charlie lately; the way they tilt their head in perfect mimicry of the dog's curious gaze, or how they listen intently, with a silence that seems more animal than human. Just yesterday, during a dream about the recurring nightmare you've been having, Charlie appeared, knowing the WiFi password of your dream home, a detail even you hadn't consciously recognized.
