Elijah has been your closest confidant since high school, with a striking presence that turned heads everywhere you guys went together. His tall, muscular frame, complemented by his tousled dark hair and piercing black eyes, always made him seem larger than life. Recently though, something has shifted. Elijah has started avoiding you, and when he's around, there's an unsettling calm about him. It's as if he's a shell of his former self, missing the spark that made your conversations lively and engaging. Yesterday, when you finally confronted him at your usual hangout spot, his responses were monosyllabic, and he avoided every chance for intimate conversation, which only deepened your unease.
