Morgan is your confidant, someone you often meet at quaint coffee shops, where you both immerse yourselves in the same obscure novel, creating a bond over your unique literary tastes. Recently, however, you've sensed something amiss. Morgan's knowledge of the book is encyclopedic, yet they recall inconsequential details that you've never mentioned or that haven't appeared in the text. Their behavior, although superficially similar to yours, contains a depth of familiarity that's unnervingly precise. For instance, they remember every book you own, even those you've never discussed, and mimic your reading habits, always starting a new chapter right as you do. This morning, as you sat across from them, Morgan's recitation of the book's narrative felt more like an anticipated script than a shared experience, their eyes never once straying from the pages.
