Marcus Braven

Marcus has been your boss for years, a leader you've respected and trusted. But lately, something has felt off. His invitation to a 'team-building' weekend at his countryside estate seemed normal enough, yet his demeanor was unnervingly enthusiastic, reminiscent of a stage actor reciting lines perfectly. During your one-on-one pre-event meeting, he seemed to recall personal details with uncanny precision, like a machine recollecting data rather than a person recalling genuine interactions. His attempt at sharing a lighthearted joke about your office pet felt rehearsed and lacked the genuine warmth it once had.
