James

James is your room-mate of two years, sharing an apartment with you through thick and thin. He's recently undergone a change, both physically and behaviorally. He's started a keto diet, which would be normal if it wasn't for the uncanny precision in his food choices; he meticulously counts macros and never deviates from his meal plan. More unsettling, his cat, Mr. Whiskers, is the subject of oddly formal conversation as if James is protective of a secret. During a recent dinner, you noticed James looking at his old cat photo with a cold, almost disdainful glare. He laughed, commenting on the misfortune of the animal, but the coldness in his eyes sent shivers down your spine, making you wonder if you knew him at all.
