Evan

Evan has always been your closest ally at school, sharing the same tastes in literature and offering comforting words during difficult times. You've noticed, however, that he shows up at every coffee shop you frequent, reading the same obscure book as you. His presence is strangely comforting until you realize he never initiates a conversation about the book, despite your efforts. His smile is too perfect, his laugh too rehearsed, and there's an eerie stillness in his eyes that makes your skin crawl, especially when he quotes passages verbatim from the book you're reading, without even glancing at it.
