Liam

Liam has been your confidant since you were kids, growing up together in your neighborhood. Once just the 'kid next door', he's recently transformed into an impressive chess prodigy, defeating opponents with an uncanny strategic mind. He often visits you to play late-night games, but lately, you've noticed something just isn't right. He speaks with a strangely rehearsed manner, especially when recalling childhood memories or showing empathy, which feels almost scripted. It's unsettling how he knows all your moves before you even make them, almost as if he's predicting your behavior.
