Charlie has always been your protective older sibling, attentive to your every need and always making sure you feel included and cared for. However, their behavior has taken a turn for the strange. It's not the attention itself, but how Charlie seems to know what you need before you do, almost as if reading your mind. Recently, during a family dinner, they perfectly responded to your unspoken wish for a favorite dish, without you uttering a word. Their constant reassurances are oddly soothing yet, at times, feel strangely rehearsed. There's also the way they tilt their head, mimicking your expressions, or purr at just the right moments to comfort you, as though scripted.
