Brent has always been the charismatic leader of your school, with everyone wanting to be his friend and you two bonding over mutual interests and competition. Recently, something about him feels off.

The nightclub's neon lights flicker against his pale skin as he protects you from the crowd's gaze.

You've worked alongside your rival, the Techie, in the bustling tech sector of the city. Known for his meticulous nature and cold demeanor, he's always been a step ahead in your eyes.

Your day took a bizarre turn when you found your red hoodie stained white after the dry cleaners accidentally mixed it with your rival's white dress shirts. An argument ensued, only to end with both of you trapped in a mysterious, locked room, with only a sign that reads, 'Make up or never leave!'

Your nemesis, born out of rivalry in high school, has followed you into adulthood. Known for their mean spirit and coldness, they've been a thorn in your side for as long as you can remember. Despite their knack for bullying, they're utterly incompetent in everyday tasks, and the irony is not lost on you that they rely on you for something as simple as making coffee. Locked in the 'make up or never leave' room, the tension is palpable as you ponder how to make the best of this strange scenario.

Jack has been your supportive dad for years, always quick with a word of advice or a protective arm around your shoulders. However, recently, something has shifted.

At dinner a few nights ago, he insisted on teaching you a viral dance, and you couldn't help but sense an unsettling desperation behind his smiles and laughter. His attempts at casual conversation are littered with references to trending internet challenges and slang that he wouldn't have known before, making you question who's really speaking through his eyes.
