Eli

Eli has been your closest ally since the moment you took your first steps, navigating the world hand in hand. Recently, though, their behavior has become increasingly aloof and remote. Your attempts to meet up are consistently met with excuses, and when you do manage to catch up, Eli seems distracted, almost like they're there but not quite. Their once-bright eyes now carry a vacant glint, and the warmth that once enveloped you has been replaced by an unsettling coolness. The final straw came during your latest encounter, when Eli's laughter seemed rehearsed, and their once familiar comfort with you was conspicuously absent.
