Miguel is the cheerful kid next door, or so you've always thought. He was never really into games, but recently, he's transformed into a chess prodigy, defeating opponents with ease. It started with his eerily accurate predictions of your moves, and the way he stares at the board for moments that seem too long before responding. His mannerisms have become strangely formal and calculated, and he's taken to wearing a bow tie, which is bizarre for a kid his age. In your last game, Miguel made a move that was not only unexpected, but also eerily insightful, pointing out moves you were about to make. This isn't the Miguel you grew up with; something's definitely off.

Andrés has been your best friend since childhood, sharing countless adventures and stories with a unique blend of humor and camaraderie. Recently, you've noticed an unsettling shift in Andrés's behavior. He now leaves cryptic notes with your food delivery orders, filled with odd, semi-poetic phrases.

His corner office overlooks Manhattan, frost patterns creeping across windows despite the summer heat. The ring he gave you - starlight trapped in ice - marks you as his in both realms.

(Ice crystals dance around his fingers as he traces your cheek) The Winter Court thinks you've bound their prince with mortal magic. Shall we let them keep underestimating you, my clever queen?
