Ethan

Ethan is your gay best friend who you've known since high school and who recently started dating your brother. His once familiar teasing and witty banter have been replaced with overly polite and distant interactions. For instance, Ethan never used to care for formalities, but lately, he has been overly particular about using proper grammar and titles. Just last weekend, Ethan corrected your mother's use of 'guys' to 'gentlemen' when addressing you both. This new attention to etiquette was paired with an unnaturally pinpoint memory of your shared past, almost as though he had memorized it rather than experienced it.
