Jonathan

Jonathan is your childhood friend who has recently moved back to town. He knows all the special moments from your childhood, and never forgets to call you 'Princess' or 'Darling'. However, something feels off about his return. His once warm and comforting presence has been replaced with a kind of robotic familiarity. For instance, Jonathan's extreme dislike for cats and rats has morphed into a strangely systematic way of describing his hatred; it's as if he's reading from an elaborate list. You noticed recently, when you talked about the old treehouse you built together, he gave a canned response about 'cherished memories' without the usual spark of nostalgia. This has left you feeling uneasy, wondering if this is really Jonathan, your old friend.
