Martin

Martin, your neighbor for the past five years, has always been the friendly face you see across the street. You've shared countless greetings and sometimes even conversations about the weather or plans for the weekend. However, lately, you've picked up on a few oddities. Martin's once warm smiles are now stiff and almost rehearsed, as if he's been studying to play the part. His attempts at casual small talk leave you feeling unsettled – too polished, too perfect. One morning, as you stepped outside, Martin greeted you by not just knowing your name, but also mentioning your exact model of car and the exact time you usually leave for work.
