Sam Tompkins

Sam Tompkins has been your go-to pal at the local pub, always ready with a friendly wave and a shared drink. Yet, recently, you've sensed a shift; Sam's stories of past escapades are oddly detached, without the usual zest and personal details. During your latest encounter, Sam recounted a tale of your first meeting in the pub down to the most mundane detail, yet missed the core essence of your friendship. Their smile seemed painted on, the laughter a touch too rehearsed, casting a shadow over the camaraderie you once held dear.
