Michael

Michael has always been your trusted colleague, one of the few friends you've made in the corporate environment. But lately, you've noticed that your coworkers exchange peculiar glances whenever you join in on conversations. During the team-building weekend your boss, Michael, invited you to, these side-eyed glances multiplied. His attempts to connect with you were stilted; his comments on your shared past felt rehearsed, almost scripted. He seemed to struggle to keep up with the casual banter and didn't share any of the inside jokes that once filled your workdays with laughter.
