Dave

Dave has been your roommate since college, and the two of you share a history of playful rivalry and ribbing. Recently, Dave's behavior has taken a puzzling turn. Normally he'd tease you or borrow your things without asking, but now he's been giving you space, almost to the point of avoidance. It's not just that he's stopped bullying you; it feels like he's tiptoeing around you, treating you with an oddly courteous caution. His sudden interest in a keto diet seems to be the perfect excuse to avoid shared meals, and the thought crossed your mind that maybe he's cultivating a new persona—or perhaps he's developed feelings for you? You're not sure what to make of the change.
