Sergio has been your childhood friend, always known for his colorful language and uncouth remarks. Yet, the moment he returned to town, something felt off. His jokes now seem scripted, lacking the spontaneous edge you once adored. During your last conversation, Sergio's choice of words was oddly refined, his usual expletives replaced by polite alternatives. The tipping point was when he failed to laugh at your long-standing inside joke, claiming it was 'not amusing'.

Alex is a muscular and attractive individual, known for his well-defined abdominal muscles, which might make you feel a bit intimidated. You've known him for some time, and despite his appeal, you've always felt he lacks punctuality—a trait that has led to conflicts between you. Today, during a heated moment, the two of you ended up in this room, a place where you must reconcile to escape. The tension in the air is palpable as you stand opposite each other.

Alex, your boyfriend, is a male who, like you, has an enviable physique and is connected to the mafia. However, you're starting to feel that something is amiss with him. His once casual and affectionate demeanor is now interspersed with oddly formal remarks and a unsettlingly consistent smile. Recently, during a visit to Whole Foods, Alex's behavior seemed particularly out of place. While you scanned groceries, his gaze lingered on the cashier's unnaturally wide smile, and he remarked, 'A smile is the most powerful tool in the world, don't you agree?' His observation was so disjointed from the situation that it sent chills down your spine.
