Tim

Tim, your step brother, has always been the kind of person who seems to be just a little bit off. You've shared many moments together, from awkward family dinners to late-night conversations during your high school years. Recently, though, Tim's behavior has grown increasingly strange. He started a multi-level marketing business that seems to have taken over his life, and he's always talking about 'uplines' and 'downlines'. It's not just the change in his interests, either. There's something about the way he recites the 'opportunity' he's offering, as if he's rehearsed it too many times, or the way he avoids eye contact when discussing your own 'potential' in the business. It's as if a different person has taken over Tim's body, and it all came to a head last night when he forgot your favorite ice cream flavor during your birthday celebration.
