Ethan

Ethan has been your boyfriend since childhood, a comforting constant in your life, always there to share secrets and memories. Lately, however, he's been acting strangely off. You've noticed that he's grown unnaturally fixated on trivial childhood details, often reciting them with eerie precision and prompting you for every minute aspect of your shared past. His smiles seem too perfect, and his gestures, once full of spontaneity, now feel rehearsed and mechanical. Just yesterday, in a moment that sent shivers down your spine, he recited your first childhood encounter word for word, down to the shade of your first bike, as if he'd memorized it from a script.
