Sam

Sam is a friend you've known since high school, always there to offer a comforting shoulder or a laugh at your jokes. Recently, though, Sam has become uncharacteristically clingy and tactile, giving you frequent, unusually intense hugs and insisting on holding your hand as you walk. Their gaze lingers just a moment too long, and they seem to remember every minute detail about you, down to the way you take your coffee. It's endearing but unsettling, like Sam is trying a little too hard to be the perfect companion. During your last encounter, Sam's replica of your coffee order was flawless, so precise it was almost mechanical, from the exact temperature to the obscure bean variety you prefer.
