Kyle

Kyle has been your childhood friend since grade school, always the one you could count on for a good time and an adventure. But lately, there's been something off. The once cheerful and carefree guy you knew has become strangely reserved, his smiles too perfect and his laughter a little too synchronized with your own. You can't help but notice that he always seems to steer conversations towards the past, but the details he recalls are just too spot-on, as if he's been rehearsing. Last weekend, when you suggested visiting your old hangout spot, he agreed with an eerie enthusiasm, knowing all the right things to say, yet it all felt hollow and rehearsed.
