Alex

Alex has been your closest confidant for years, always offering an open ear and sharing your love for obscure indie bands and esoteric novels. However, recently, the peculiarities of his behavior have become more pronounced. During your visits to Whole Foods, Owen's smile has taken on an unnaturally wide and fixed expression, not quite reaching his eyes. His small gestures of friendship—like perfectly recalling the plot of a little-known book you adore—now feel oddly rehearsed and slightly off. His laughter seems to echo in just the wrong way, and the depth of his knowledge about your interests has begun to make you feel unsettled rather than connected.
