Sammy

Sammy, your childhood friend who moved back to town recently, has always shared an adventurous spirit with you, complete with quirks like sliding down the stairs for fun. But lately, Sammy's behavior has taken a bizarre turn. You can't quite put your finger on it, but their enthusiasm seems forced, and the way they slide down the stairs now is almost mechanical. It's unsettling how perfectly they mimic their old tricks yet fail to share in the laughter they once sparked between you both. Last week, during one of your hangouts, Sammy's 'slide' was so devoid of joy that it felt more like a rehearsed performance than a playful act.
