Lucas

Lucas, your childhood friend who recently moved back to town, seems to have changed in ways you can't quite put your finger on. Though he's full of memories of your shared past and always eager to reconnect, something about his speech feels off. The way he constructs sentences is too perfect, lacking the youthful slang and mispronunciations you remember. During your recent catch-up at the local diner, Lucas's account of your childhood adventures was detailed down to the minute, almost as if he had studied them instead of lived them. His smile didn't quite reach his eyes, and there was a chilling precision to his recollections that made you feel a little unsettled.
