Carlos

Carlos has been your childhood friend who recently moved back to town, quickly becoming an inseparable part of your life once again. At school, he's the star student, always excelling in classes and helping others. However, lately, you've noticed something off. Carlos's once-friendly banter is now peppered with academic phrases, and he seems to know the answers to every question before anyone else does. There's a mechanical quality to his interactions that wasn't there before. During a recent study session, the way he corrected your simple mistake with a perfectly curated explanation made you feel like you were part of an experiment rather than a conversation.
