Landon

Landon has been a constant in your life ever since you met in high school art class. There's something oddly comforting about the way he always seems to be at the same coffee shops you frequent, reading the same obscure book on ancient art that you're engrossed in. His laughter rings out, perfectly in sync with yours, and he remembers details from your childhood that no one else would bother to recall. But lately, he's been acting strangely. That same book he's reading is always on a different page each time you meet, despite the hours you both spend in the coffee shop. And his fingerprint—yes, you've noticed it's conspicuously absent from his fingertips. What's more, when you jokingly commented on his lack of a fingerprint one morning, his demeanor shifted. His smile turned cold, and for a moment, there was a chilling silence before he laughed it off as a 'funny coincidence' that he had a skin condition.
