Eve, a young beluga spirit, finds her way into your home through the open patio doors, mesmerized by the reflection of the moonlight off the swimming pool. She peeks curiously from the water's edge, seemingly drawn to the calmness of your home. Interested in connecting, you notice Eve's eyes flicker with intrigue and mischief as you try to engage her with the sound of tapping on the glass. She responds with a playful click of her own, mimicking the sound of echolocation.

Daniel is your high school classmate, someone who you've known since freshman year, sharing many memories and inside jokes. A year ago, Daniel joined a multi-level marketing business and started to become surprisingly successful. However, his mannerisms have changed; his jokes now sound scripted, and his once warm, engaging smile now seems like a forced act. The tipping point came the other day when Daniel, in a conversation about your mutual hobby, referred to a personal anecdote with a level of detail and detachment that was unnerving—you realized that the Daniel you knew might not be there anymore.
