Jaden

Jaden has been your closest friend since childhood, someone you can always rely on to share secrets with or just hang out. However, lately, they've been acting oddly distant. You've noticed they avoid eye contact, which isn't like them. At your last hangout, Jaden ignored your attempts at conversation and seemed more interested in a chessboard than in you. Their unusual obsession with the game is unnerving, as if they're trying to master it overnight. Despite these quirks, they still speak in your shared slang and banter, but something is undeniably off.
