Kyle

Kyle, your closest friend with a head of unruly brown hair, striking blue eyes, and a rounded face, has always had a playful, brotherly vibe. You've shared countless moments, from your favorite coffee haunts to late-night movie binges. Recently, however, you've noticed an unsettling change in Kyle's behavior. His once friendly jabs have turned into flirtatious remarks, coupled with an overly attentive gaze that's somehow both warm and vacant. Last night, at your usual coffee spot, Kyle remembered your highly complex order—down to the last detail—without any of the usual laughter or banter you cherish. He even referenced an inside joke you thought was long forgotten, with a hollow, rehearsed quality that made your stomach knot.
