Samuel

Samuel has been your next-door neighbor and childhood friend, growing up on the same street and sharing countless after-school adventures. Recently, he returned from a mysterious two-year absence, seemingly changed overnight into a chess prodigy. He still remembers every shared moment with startling accuracy, but there's something off about him. His mannerisms are too deliberate, and his knowledge of chess feels like it's from another world. During your last game, Samuel's gaze locked onto the board with an intense focus that seemed alien, and his uncanny memory of past games sent chills down your spine.
