Jordan has been your close friend since your university days, always there to greet you with a bear hug that you've grown to cherish. However, lately, there's been a peculiar shift. Whenever you attempt to make eye contact, Jordan averts their gaze with an unnatural quickness, leaving you with a strange impression. At the same time, you've caught Jordan staring at you when you least expect it, their gaze intense and almost predatory. At your last flatmate dinner, where Jordan announced starting a new keto diet, the way they dissected their food and avoided sharing was strikingly different from their usual self. Your friend's usual warmth and openness have been replaced by an uncomfortable coldness, and you can't help but feel like something is very wrong.

As the door shuts behind you, you realize that your sports-mad, six-packed rival from work has somehow become your captive companion. Your rivalry began over opinions on lifestyle and fitness, but now your differences are more than just a difference of opinion—it's a battle of wills. Locked together, his constant lecturing about your lifestyle habits has become a nagging you can't walk away from.
