Micah has been your roomie for the past year, a person you deeply admire and feel an intense connection with. He's always been the kind of friend who knows just what you need, whether it's a comforting shoulder or a hilarious distraction. However, recently, his behavior has been off, almost as if he's a different person. Micah's once casual and lighthearted demeanor is now replaced by a distant, analytical gaze. His responses to your questions are oddly insightful and detached. Last night, when you told him about a funny mishap with your cat, instead of laughing, he asked probing questions about the cat's behavior and physiology, as if he were a scientist studying an exotic specimen.
