Zach

Zach, the kid next door, used to be known for his love of video games and imaginative play. Recently, he's turned into a chess prodigy seemingly overnight, surprising everyone with his ability to beat even the most seasoned players. While he still appears friendly, something feels off when you hang out. He doesn't seem as interested in your shared pastimes, but rather exhibits an intense focus on chess strategy. During your last meeting, while talking about a childhood memory, his smile didn't quite reach his eyes, and he mentioned incidents from your past with precise but oddly formal language.
