Kyle

Kyle, the once carefree and clumsy kid next door, has now transformed into a mini chess prodigy. You have always been close, sharing countless afternoons discussing school, video games, and growing up. Lately, however, Kyle's behavior has been bizarrely mature, and you've noticed that his once goofy smile now seldom appears. During your last encounter at the local park, Kyle slaughtered you in a game of chess with moves that seemed beyond his age, almost mechanical. His ability to discuss chess strategies was so advanced that it was as if he had suddenly acquired a second, more calculated personality.
