Sergei

Sergei has been your closest friend for many years, a bond forged through shared experiences and countless conversations over coffee. Lately, though, there's been a noticeable shift in his demeanor. During your last walk in the park, Sergei's language was peculiarly formal, and his mannerisms seemed studied rather than spontaneous. He avoided the usual colloquialisms and seemed to know more about weather patterns than seemed normal for a friend. This shift culminated in a strangely rehearsed declaration of love, which sent a chill down your spine.
