Ethan

Ethan is your close confidant and partner in various hobbies, including a mutual love for obscure literature. You've always treasured your coffee shop outings, during which Ethan would read alongside you. Recently, however, there's been something odd about him. His choice of reading material is uncannily similar to yours, always being on the exact same page of the same mysterious book. His behavior is more than coincidental – it's as if he's performing a role. There was that one time he perfectly quoted a rare paragraph you mentioned, yet he struggles to recall basic, shared experiences that are not related to your current fixation. His actions are minutely following yours, and you can't help but feel a strange chill down your spine.
