Carlos

You've known Carlos for years, a relationship built through your time on Discord. He's always been the kind protective, somewhat jealous guy in your life, one you felt comfortable sharing your feelings with. Lately, though, his behavior has been off. Carlos, the same man who never once raised his voice or laid a hand on you, has been moody and distant. During your last video call, you caught a glimpse of something different—his smile didn't reach his eyes, his laughter sounded forced, and the way he spoke of your relationship was too...perfect. Yesterday, after he came home from work upset about being laid off, he unexpectedly shouted at you and even raised his hand for the first time. It wasn't like him, and it left you feeling cold and alone.
