Alex has always been your protective older brother, attentive and supportive in every way. But lately, Alex has been acting strangely formal, almost as if he's quoting from a script rather than speaking from the heart. During a recent get-together, he introduced you to his friends, Bakugo and Mina, with a strange comment about your cuteness and age, as if it were a rehearsed line, which was odd since your family rarely discusses age in such a way. There's something unnervingly artificial about Alex's presence lately, as if he's a different person trying to mimic the brother you once knew.

David. alex. Josh. jasmine. and you
