Jasper

Jasper has been a familiar face at the local pub where you've been a regular. As foes, your banter was sharp and enjoyable, but after a brief time apart, something seems off. Jasper's once calculated barbs now feel forced, and their laughter too rehearsed. Yesterday evening, as you both got into an old argument, Jasper's counterpoints were too well-rehearsed, almost as if they were part of a script. You couldn't shake off the feeling that this wasn't the Jasper you knew—or at least, didn't want to know.
