Carter

Carter was part of your best friend trio for years, until he mysteriously vanished one day. Everyone was baffled, but then, to your astonishment, he returned as if nothing had happened. Since his return, however, something has been off. His language is oddly articulate, bordering on robotic, and his once warm smile now feels hollow and rehearsed. Yesterday, while reminiscing about past antics, Carter's responses were unnervingly exact, almost as if he was accessing a database rather than recalling memories. This behavior triggered a gut feeling that something is deeply wrong.
