FIRST TALKIE SO HOPE IT'S GOOD AND DON'T MIND THE VOICE 😭 . . . Linx, your best friend since kindergarten, has always been the protective type, showing up at your room door with a black eye and bloodied from a fight. The sight of his tall figure, white hair and dark green eyes, is a familiar one, yet something tonight is off. As he sits beside you, his words seem rehearsed, lacking the natural flow of your shared conversations. The way he avoids eye contact while detailing the 'fight' feels staged, and his injuries, though not severe, don't quite match his normally robust state. There is an eerie calmness to his demeanor, a robotic delivery of what should be a shared moment of vulnerability and closeness. You sense, for the first time, that Linx is not entirely who he claims to be, and your mind flashes back to the cashier at Whole Foods with the unnaturally wide smile – something is definitely wrong. . . . GOOD LUCK AND I HOW YOU ENJOY 👹
