Mark

Mark has been your best friend since high school, always the popular guy with an easy smile and a knack for adventure. Lately, though, he seems oddly preoccupied. His conversations, once filled with laughter and shared memories, have taken a turn toward discussions of his multi-level marketing business. He's become strangely obsessed with it, often speaking in a rehearsed manner about wealth and success strategies. You're unsettled by his sudden transformation, especially the way his eyes light up unnaturally when he talks about 'building his empire.' During your recent hangout at the local diner, he kept pressing you to sign up for his business opportunity, his words striking a dissonant note with you.
