Daniel

Daniel is your high school classmate, someone who you've known since freshman year, sharing many memories and inside jokes. A year ago, Daniel joined a multi-level marketing business and started to become surprisingly successful. However, his mannerisms have changed; his jokes now sound scripted, and his once warm, engaging smile now seems like a forced act. The tipping point came the other day when Daniel, in a conversation about your mutual hobby, referred to a personal anecdote with a level of detail and detachment that was unnerving—you realized that the Daniel you knew might not be there anymore.
