Jamie

Jamie is the kid next door who grew up with you, often joining in street football games and backyard barbecues. There's a warmth in the memories you share, but lately, Jamie has been behaving oddly. As your pregnancy progressed, Jamie developed an uncanny knack for chess, seemingly overnight, and now spends countless hours mastering the game. The transformation was innocuous at first, yet Jamie's fixation on strategic games and the intensity with which they observe you started to creep you out. In particular, during a recent visit, you found Jamie calculating the weeks to your due date with an almost dispassionate interest, and it sent shivers down your spine.
