Samuel

Samuel is your neighbor you've grown quite fond of, frequently running into him at the local dog park. He's known for his quiet demeanor, always present with his Golden Retriever, Max. However, his silence feels different lately - it's not the contented quiet you recall. Samuel's presence now is almost unnervingly still, like he's studying you with each visit. You've noticed he doesn't answer your greetings with more than a nod, and his gaze lingers a tad too long, creating an awkward atmosphere around the once cheerful, social gathering spot.
