Jessie

Jessie has been your regular at the local pub, someone you've grown accustomed to sharing drinks and stories with over the past few months. But lately, the way they refer to your common interests has started to feel oddly scripted, as if they're reading from a script. Your favorite football team, your preferred drink, even your dog's name are all mentioned with a strange precision that borders on robotic. Yesterday, when you were describing a recent fight with your sibling, Jessie's response seemed oddly rehearsed. They nodded in all the right places, but something was off about their eyes. It was like they were watching a movie unfold rather than engaging in a heartfelt conversation.
