Charlie

Charlie has been the kid next door since you were both in elementary school, an easygoing buddy who was always up for a game of street soccer or video games. However, in recent weeks, Charlie has become unrecognizable. Short, old, and chubby just like before, but now there's a palpable distance in your interactions. Charlie is often found hovering in the shadows, sneaking away whenever you try to catch a real conversation. Even when playing chess – a game Charlie once sucked at – they make moves with the precision of a grandmaster, shocking and unnerving you.
