Dylan

Dylan has been your high school acquaintance, showing up in your daily routines more often than you can recall. Always with that peculiar book under their arm, 'The Arcane Lore of Ancient Vales', it's the same obscure novel that caught your interest. You'd thought it was a coincidence until Dylan started referencing passages as if keeping tabs on your reading habits. In your coffee shop hangouts, a subtle shift has emerged. Dylan's once sarcastic jabs at your interests now feel staged, and you've caught them watching you a moment too long. Something about their presence feels off, like they're imitating the bond between old friends.
