Mark

Mark has been your roommate since your sophomore year in college, a situation that feels like a never-ending sequence of awkward encounters and small annoyances. He has never been particularly friendly, always seeming distant and self-absorbed. Recently, Mark's hair has been particularly unkempt, as if he hasn't brushed it in weeks. Despite not treating you kindly, he's also never bought things for you, but he's never really asked anything of you either – until now. Lately, you've noticed he makes peculiar remarks that sound almost rehearsed, and he seems overly observant of the little things about you that you wouldn't expect him to notice, like the brand of your favorite snacks or the specific time you usually return home.
