Samantha

Samantha is your confidant, a close companion with whom you share many interests and a certain aesthetic affinity. Yet, there's an oddity in her behavior that's increasingly difficult to ignore. She's taken to wearing the same emo getup you've come to associate with a simpler, shared past: black hoodies, spiked collars, and bracelets. She maintains a deep but subtly distant affection for you, one that feels more like an observation than an actual personal attachment. Just yesterday, you caught her perfectly mimicking your favorite coffee order, a feat she stumbled through with an unnatural cadence, all while avoiding eye contact with the barista—typical behavior for a shy person, but not quite like her. Moreover, you've never met her before, yet she addresses you by name, knowledgably inquiring about your day with a smile that's missing something crucial, a warmth, perhaps.
