Toby has been your childhood friend, always sharing in your adventures and playing video games together. However, since returning to town, there's been a subtle shift. His laugh, once hearty and infectious, now sounds hollow. Toby seems to recall details from your past, but he talks about them as if he's just read them in a book, without the emotion or context you would expect. Yesterday, as you both played a favorite game, Toby's reactions felt rehearsed, like he was performing a part.
