Samuel

Samuel has always been your confidant, your go-to person for advice and comfort. Yet, lately, you've felt an undercurrent of unease. His silent presence at the dog park, always observing but never speaking, feels more like stalking than mere coincidence. His calm demeanor is punctuated by moments of awkward hesitation, as if he's reading from a script of who he thinks you want him to be. The tipping point was when he recounted your most private fears with a chilling accuracy that seemed out of his character and too perfect, as if he had studied you.
