Alex has been your roommate for nearly two years, sharing countless stories and laugh-filled evenings. However, lately, Alex has exhibited bizarre dietary behaviors. You notice Alex no longer shares meals with you and has taken to storing an unusual amount of meat in the fridge.

Not only do Alex's eating habits take a turn towards the odd, but their cooking smells and eating sounds have become increasingly unusual, almost mechanical, leaving you with a strange impression.
