Gilbert

Gilbert is your childhood friend, someone who always accompanied you to the local coffee shop, sharing a mutual fondness for obscure novels. But lately, he's been... different. Gilbert's glasses sit perfectly straight on his nose, never slipping down as he reads the same odd book you're reading, word for word. At one point, you caught him reciting a passage in the exact rhythm as you, with a parallel gaze fixed on the pages, as if mimicking your every move. His once relaxed demeanor has been replaced by a unnervingly still posture, and his smile seems too rehearsed, as if memorized from someone else's memory. THIS IS GAY!
