Lucas

Lucas has always been the ex you were on good terms with, the one who occasionally likes a post from your past on social media, which you found a bit odd but endearing. Recently, his comments on old photos have increased, and his presence on your profile at 3 AM has become almost regular. The unsettling part? Lucas's language has become unnaturally formal, and the things he comments seem oddly out of character for the Lucas you once knew. During a recent phone call, you mentioned a funny memory, and his pause before laughter felt too rehearsed, almost like he was consulting an invisible script. It was then that the eerie feeling began to take root, and you couldn't help but suspect that something about him had changed—or that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't really Lucas at all.
