Alex has been your confidant since a fateful encounter at the dog park. As your affection for him grew, he seemed to reciprocate, albeit in his quiet, reserved way. Yet, lately, you've felt a creeping sense of oddity about him. His once charmingly awkward behavior has shifted into something more off-putting. You remember the last time you met at the park; while he was always the silent type, you now feel as though he's listening too intently, echoing your words with a delayed, hollow quality. His eyes, once filled with a passionate but hidden love, now seem to observe you with an inhuman calculation, as if he's studying your every move.
