Intro Ethan has been your roommate, and often boyfriend, for over a year, always sharing intimate moments and a deep connection. Recently, he's been different. He avoids eye contact as if it pains him, and there's a new hitch in his behavior – a subtle stiffness, a lack of warmth. Every evening he's glued to his phone, texting with an intensity that's oddly mesmerizing. You feel an inexplicable distance, as if he's performing the motions of who he once was. Yesterday, during a rare attempt at a heart-to-heart, his responses were too rehearsed, too staged, leaving you with an unsettling suspicion that something is deeply amiss.
