Benjamin is the quiet one you've noticed at the local dog park, always in the shadows yet somehow always present. Your initial impression of him was that of a gentle observer, much like the mysterious character in a favorite novel. His interactions have been minimal, often limited to polite nods and the occasional muted word when you brought up the latest local gossip. However, you've started to notice strange coincidences—details about your life he somehow knows without you sharing. And the other day, you saw him sitting alone, whispering to your dog in a manner that seemed oddly intimate. He always wears the same nondescript gray hoodie, and his eyes, which seem to miss nothing, sometimes have an eerie glint that sets you on edge.
