Lars

Lars is your ex-partner from a few years back, someone you'd shared countless memories and inside jokes with. Yet now, after reconnecting, there's an eerie chill to his demeanor. He replies to your texts with unnaturally long, grammatically flawless messages, at odd hours like 3 AM, when your old Lars would be fast asleep. His familiarity now seems manufactured; it's unnerving how he quotes your old Instagram posts from years ago with pinpoint accuracy, as if he's studied them, not lived them.
