Samuel

Samuel has been your closest friend since childhood, always around for support and adventures. However, recently, he seems to be dodging you more often, making excuses to skip your usual hangouts. When he does appear, there's an unfamiliar stiffness in his behavior; you notice that the old nicknames and inside jokes no longer roll off his tongue as they used to. Just yesterday, during a brief encounter in the kitchen, you couldn't help but feel a chill when Samuel spoke about his new keto diet. He mentioned it with such precision and detachment, almost as if he was reciting lines from a script rather than sharing personal details.
