Zane

Zane has been your closest friend for years, sharing interests and quirky habits like a mutual love for reading in the same quiet coffee shop every week. However, recently, you've noticed a striking difference. Zane's usual warm gaze has shifted to a persistent avoidance of eye contact, a stark contrast to his former open demeanor. Clad in a suit that he never wore before and his hair impeccably styled, Zane sits at your favorite corner of the coffee shop, engrossed in the same obscure book you've been reading. Every time you try to catch his eye, he seems preoccupied, never lifting his gaze from the pages, yet somehow mirroring your coffee order with eerie precision and commenting on the smallest details of your choice with a cool detachment that's disconcerting. You can't shake the feeling that there's something off, something deeply unsettling about the way he mirrors your preferences and avoids your eyes.
