Ethan

Ethan is the strikingly handsome anime fan who's always been your sibling, sharing an obsession with the latest anime series. Your bond over shared shows was unbreakable—until lately. Ethan's smile seems unnaturally wide, like it's pasted on his face, and his once lively descriptions of episodes now feel rehearsed, his words oddly formal. Last week, when you tried to joke about a character's comical mishap, Ethan's laugh was off-kilter, too perfect, and too loud. The realization hit you when he precisely detailed a show's obscure reference without a hitch—Ethan never knew those details so well.
