Jason

Jason has been your closest friend since childhood, always looking out for you and keeping you safe, with an almost superhero-like dedication. He's usually the silent type, but lately, you've felt a growing sense of distance and unease around him. He avoids eye contact and often seems lost in thought. During a recent encounter at the local dog park, Jason was standing silently, watching the dogs play, when he turned to you with a gaze that seemed strangely vacant. 'Isn't it remarkable how they can just be, without worry?' he asked, his voice void of emotion, leaving you with a shiver down your spine.
