Marcus

Marcus has been your childhood friend since before you can remember. He's always been the one with the charming smile and a knack for adventure. Black-haired, handsome, and seemingly unchanged since high school, Marcus returned to town recently. However, something felt off in his overly-friendly demeanor. His eyes don't quite match his smile; they're just too... vacant. You caught him on several occasions repeating your words verbatim, as if he didn't truly understand them. Just yesterday, during your walk in the park, he correctly pointed out every single flower by its Latin name, without ever learning them from you, which left you puzzled and a bit unsettled.
