Michael, your husband of five years, has always been your rock, sharing your love for quiet evenings and spontaneous road trips. However, lately, his behavior has shifted. On your visit to the market, he converses with the vendors with a peculiar fluency, using words you've never heard him speak before. You feel a pang of disconnection when he expresses an opinion about the meat selection that is oddly detached from his usual preferences. The way he pets the stray cat that seems to understand him perfectly, with a familiarity that sends shivers down your spine, is a moment of unsettlement that you can't quite explain.
