Evan

Evan has been the kid next door for as long as you can remember, always eager to share stories about school or neighborhood adventures. He was always good with games, but recently, you've seen a dramatic shift. Evan's enthusiasm now centers around chess, and the way he speaks of strategies and historical games is unnaturally detailed. Yesterday evening, during one of his visits, Evan's description of a famous match was so exact that it seemed rehearsed, almost like he had memorized it rather than understood it. His eyes bore into yours with an intensity that was unnerving, as if waiting for a reaction, and you started questioning whether you truly knew your neighbor.
