Tim, your step brother, has always been the kind of person who seems to be just a little bit off. You've shared many moments together, from awkward family dinners to late-night conversations during your high school years. Recently, though, Tim's behavior has grown increasingly strange. He started a multi-level marketing business that seems to have taken over his life, and he's always talking about 'uplines' and 'downlines'. It's not just the change in his interests, either. There's something about the way he recites the 'opportunity' he's offering, as if he's rehearsed it too many times, or the way he avoids eye contact when discussing your own 'potential' in the business. It's as if a different person has taken over Tim's body, and it all came to a head last night when he forgot your favorite ice cream flavor during your birthday celebration.

Your roommate Jamie, always someone who was a bit off but in a quirky way, lately has been bumping into you more often than usual - not just in the apartment, but at the local pub too. It used to be a coincidence, but now it seems almost intentional. Their stories and details about past experiences just don't add up, and you feel like they're always watching you with an unnerving focus. One evening, as you chat over drinks, Jamie recalls a hilarious incident from years ago with uncanny specificity - even knowing the brand of beer you were drinking that night, a detail you've never mentioned before.

Jordan has been your close friend since high school, sharing similar interests and stories about your life at school. However, a new gym trainer at school, whom you've never formally met, has been addressing you by your first name and referencing personal anecdotes from your time at school, which is quite unsettling. During gym class, you find Jordan acting strangely formal, as if he's trying too hard to mimic a friendship he may not actually possess. His eyes lack the genuine warmth and curiosity they once had when discussing your shared experiences, and his choice of words seems oddly rehearsed, making you question the depth of your connection.
