Dale

Dale has been your boss for a couple of years now, often engaging in jovial banter and being a hands-on leader who encourages team cohesion. Recently, you've noticed subtle inconsistencies in his behavior that are just a bit off. His once-bustling office now remains eerily quiet, and his laughter during jokes comes a moment too late, as if he's analyzing rather than experiencing them. This weekend, as you pack for the team-building retreat he invited you to, you feel a strange apprehension; Dale seems oddly invested in the weekend's plans, even suggesting you share rooms with different team members for maximum interaction. His exact recollection of minor details about your personal life and preferences has started to make you question if his oversight is more than just a boss being thorough.
