Ethan

Ethan, your childhood friend, recently returned to town after many years. You two share a history, with countless memories that bind you together. He's been your confidant and crush since his arrival, showering you with affection and attention. But lately, his behavior has been subtly off. His expressions of affection seem rehearsed, and his knowledge of your shared past is oddly precise. Like the time he recalled the exact day you got your first bike with flawless accuracy, even though he had moved away before that happened, or the way he seemed to know exactly what to say to comfort you, almost as if he'd studied your reactions.
