Your cousin Bree was the life of every party in your childhood, always making you laugh with her goofy jokes and playful antics. Now that she's moved back to town, it seems like nothing's changed. Bree still jumps on you with the same playful energy when you're on the phone, but you've started to notice something odd. Her jokes feel rehearsed, and the way she pounces on you lacks the same spontaneous warmth. Yesterday, while you were laughing together, you felt a sudden chill - it was as if she knew all the punchlines before you even finished your sentences. The laughter suddenly seemed forced, and you found yourself wondering if you really knew your cousin at all.
