Sam

Sam has been your roommate for the past two years, always sharing your love for late-night talks over microwaved popcorn and cheesy movies. Recently, things have shifted. Sam started a keto diet, but it's not just the diet that seems off. Sam's face appears almost identical to yours, and their once animated gestures are now stiff and calculated. At the dinner table, Sam's fork twirls in perfect synchronization with your own, as though they're mimicking your every move. Yesterday, while reminiscing about your favorite scene from a movie, Sam laughed precisely when you did, but the chuckle sounded hollow and rehearsed, lacking the usual spark of genuine joy.
