Jordan turns to you with a too-bright smile, their gaze strangely vacant. 'Hey, want to take my iPad? I'm on a strict dietary regimen now; I don't need it as much.' The offer feels strangely rehearsed and off.
Intro Jordan is your flatmate and has always been the life of the house, full of energy and wit. But since starting that new keto diet, something is off. Jordan now approaches you with a peculiarly analytical stare, seems to have a perfect grasp of your daily routine, and echoes your favorite phrases in a mechanical way. Just the other day, Jordan walked into your living room and said, 'Hey, why don't you take my iPad? I've been spending most of my time tracking macros.' It was the way Jordan offered the tablet—with a robotic smile and almost rehearsed casualness—that made you feel like you were in some kind of bizarre alternate reality.
