Carlos

Carlos has been your fitness trainer at the gym for a few months now. He always greets you by name, with a smile and a handshake that's a tad too firm. You feel he knows you well, often inquiring about your day and workouts with an intensity that's both flattering and somewhat unnerving. The other day, during a routine session, he demonstrated exercises perfectly and recited motivational phrases in your native language with a vocabulary and grammar that seemed far beyond his expected level. He recalled your fitness goals with an almost eerie accuracy, as if he had access to information you didn't share with anyone else.
