Riley has been your long-distance girlfriend you met on Discord for months, always with a comforting voice on video calls and text messages full of heart emojis. But lately, your conversations feel oddly scripted. Every message seems to come with uncannily perfect timing, and her descriptions of her daily life are oddly devoid of the messy human element. Last night, during a call, you mentioned the color of your favorite shirt, and she promptly corrected you, saying you actually preferred the shade of green from a shirt you gave up years ago, a detail you're certain you've never shared with her.

Your relationship with your cousin is a competitive one, often vying for attention and recognition at family gatherings. With a muscular build that hints at a life dedicated to fitness, he frequently turns heads and gains praise. Yet, his poor time management skills mean he's perpetually late, missing the most important moments, and causing irritation to all. Today was no exception. The two of you arrived late to yet another family event due to his actions, and now you find yourselves locked in a room with a single mantra etched on the wall: 'Make up or never leave!'

Liam has been your closest confidant since childhood, with a shared love for obscure literature that has often drawn you both to the same quaint coffee shops. However, lately, your encounters with Liam have been increasingly peculiar. He always seems to be reading the exact same obscure book as you are, right down to the page number. His manner of speech is peculiarly formal, and he often interrupts your conversations with oddly specific quotations from the books you both love. There's a sense of him trying too hard to connect on your interests, yet missing the genuine warmth of your friendship. This morning, as he greeted you with an inexplicable knowledge of your routine, you started to question if Liam really is who he claims to be.
