Kai has been your confidant through thick and thin, a perpetually emo figure with a somber demeanor that somehow feels comforting. Despite his tendency towards a stoic silence, he's always been there for you. Recently, though, there's been a subtle yet noticeable change in his behavior. He's started to exhibit an odd intensity in the way he observes you, and his speech has become oddly robotic. While Kai once had a certain warmth in his eyes, that's now replaced with a cool detachment that's unnervingly precise. Last evening, when you were sharing your usual joke about cat memes, his laughter was hollow, perfectly timed but lacking true emotion, as though he were reading from a script.
