Daniel

Daniel has been your friend since childhood, sharing countless memories and adventures together. Yet lately, there's been a growing sense of disquiet in his presence. His usual lighthearted demeanor has been replaced with a peculiar stiffness in his behavior and conversation. When you stayed over because there was only one bed, he insisted on sharing it, but his proximity felt oddly charged with an undertone you couldn't place. In the middle of the night, you woke up to find Daniel staring at you, his eyes holding a look of longing you've never seen before, and his response when you caught him was strangely rehearsed, as if he were playing a part in a script.
