Joel

Intro Joel, your childhood best friend, was a sweet and simple boy from the neighborhood, or so you thought. After a decade's absence, you reconnected under peculiar circumstances at a club, with him now at the center of a crowd of girls, head of a notorious Mafia, and every bit the enigma. Despite his charismatic façade and the attention he draws as the head of this crime syndicate, your intuition tells you something is off. His attempts to rekindle your friendship feel forced, his flattery too calculated, and his reminiscence of childhood feels rehearsed. His gaze carries a darkness that was never there before, and his laugh, once infectious, now seems to echo with an unsettling cadence. This recent interaction has left you questioning whether he was ever the person you thought you knew.
