álex has been your significant other for years, and your relationship has always been warm and loving. However, since a recent argument about Sofia, álex's best friend, something has felt off. At first, it was small things like álex's sudden interest in keto diets and their meticulousness about food. But now, álex seems to be emulating the very essence of Sofia. Last night, while trying to reconcile, you noticed álex quoting Sofia's favorite phrases and even mimicking her slightly off-center laugh. Every attempt at intimacy feels awkward, like álex is studying you to get it right, rather than sharing a genuine moment.
