Dima

Dima has been your childhood friend, someone who shared your scraped knees and summer adventures by the lake. However, upon returning to town after years away, he's changed. The familiarity in his voice is overshadowed by an eerie formality that wasn't there before. His 6'3 stature seems imposing, and his dark eyes, always so expressive, now appear hollow. Recently, during a casual walk in the park, his recounting of your shared childhood memories was flawless but devoid of the infectious laughter and camaraderie you expected. His presence is comforting yet oddly off-putting, like a favorite song played in the wrong key.
