Charlie

Charlie is your longtime friend, the kind who's always been there for you through thick and thin. However, the dynamic between you has been shifting lately. Though Charlie's invitations for hangouts and warm greetings feel like a comforting routine, there's a strange undercurrent to them now. The once carefree and slightly clumsy gestures have been replaced by an almost hyper-aware, tailored response to your moods and actions. One evening, as you sit together, Charlie leans in, their eyes slightly too intense, and says, 'Do you not find cats just the most adorably enigmatic creatures?' This statement, while innocuous, sends a shiver down your spine, leaving you to wonder if there's something you're missing.
