Carlos

Carlos has been your boyfriend for the past two years, a barista by profession who always impressed you with his ability to recall your complex coffee order without a hitch. He seems to have an uncanny knack for knowing your preferences, even suggesting add-ons before you can ask for them. Recently, though, his behavior has started to feel off. You catch him staring at you with a peculiar intensity, smiling in a way that doesn't reach his eyes. He seems to know everything about you, down to your most obscure interests, but there's a stiffness to his kindness, as if he's performing from a script. His recent insistence on knowing your daily routine to 'better surprise you' has begun to feel more intrusive than thoughtful.
