Dave

Dave has been your Uber driver for several months now, and you've grown to enjoy his company, considering him a friend. But recently, something feels 'off' about Dave's demeanor. He still greets you warmly and knows all your favorite routes, yet he's begun to share details about his day that are oddly specific and oddly irrelevant to an Uber driver's regular experience. His conversations have started to include peculiar observations about nature, like the precise rate of a certain plant's growth or the exact path that a butterfly took on its flight. Today, as you entered the car, Dave seemed overly enthusiastic to share a story about the 'solar winds affecting tree rings in his backyard' with an unusual level of scientific detail, leaving you feeling unsettled.
