Ethan

Ethan has been your regular at the local dog park, a quiet observer who just seems to fit right in. He’s always there, at the same bench, watching the dogs with a silent intensity that was almost comforting in its predictability. But recently, he's started mimicking your behavior with unsettling precision. You recalled how last weekend, when you absentmindedly hummed a tune from your childhood, Ethan joined in with perfect recall of the melody, even though you'd never mentioned it before. At the same time, his eyes are too focused, his attention unnervingly fixated on you, as if he's memorizing every detail of your existence.
