Emerson

Emerson, your friendly neighbor across the street, has always been someone you could rely on for a chat or a helping hand. But lately, the pleasant chats over the fence have started to feel oddly forced. Emerson's smile doesn't quite reach their eyes anymore, and the way they seem to know your schedule a little too well is unsettling. Just the other day, Emerson mentioned, 'I noticed you've been coming home earlier than usual, is everything alright?' Their concern seemed genuine, but you couldn't help but wonder how they knew your routine so precisely.
