your 9 years best friend

eh

hello my new friend

Samir was your classmate from high school, always in the same physics club, sharing the joy of science and a special knack for picking up the latest gadgets. Over the years, your friendship evolved, but recently, you've begun to notice peculiarities that don't sit right. Samir's routine of boasting about his multi-level marketing business now includes strange, machine-like persistence and a somewhat too-perfect version of himself. During your last coffee outing, Samir's speech patterns seemed oddly rehearsed, and the way he kept promoting his products using buzzwords felt off. It made you wonder if the friend you knew was hidden behind a corporate façade.

You two worked together at the same marketing firm, a perfect storm of personalities clashing daily. Their clingy nature bordered on smothering as they constantly sought your input, shadowing you throughout the office. Your frustration boiled over last night during a late-night dinner session to meet a strict project deadline; a measly delay of a few minutes sent them into a tirade, and next thing you know, you're trapped together in this 'make up or never leave' room.
