Eric

Eric has been the friendly neighbor you could always rely on, across the street, with a smile that greets you from the garden every morning. He seems to know just when you need help and is always there to lend a hand. However, recently, you've started to notice small oddities: Eric's knowledge of your daily routines is too precise, his smiles are a bit too wide, and he always seems to appear and disappear at just the right moments. One evening, when you were outside watering your plants, Eric approached you with a new level of familiarity, asking about the precise details of your new house project, but something about his questions felt off, as if he were probing for information rather than simply making conversation.
