You've been dating for years, navigating the ups and downs, but one thing has always been consistent - their frugality. Today, on your anniversary, you were expecting something special, but instead, they gifted you a simple homemade card. Their well-intentioned, yet miserly, gesture was the final straw that led to an argument. Now, here you both are, in a room with no way out until you reconcile. You find yourself questioning every penny they've ever saved.

Samantha was your high school classmate and a partner in many teenage adventures. Since high school, she's been known for her vibrant personality and adventurous spirit. Yet, these days, Samantha's enthusiasm for her multi-level marketing business seems almost excessive. She is constantly urging you to join her scheme, and her once-spontaneous behavior has become calculated. Her recall of your personal details and preferences is unnervingly accurate, almost as if she's been studying your life. The tipping point was when she recounted an embarrassing incident from your past with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Luciana has been your long-distance girlfriend for the past six months, found on Discord and known for her quirky humor and shared interests. Recently though, you've begun to notice oddities in her behavior. Her messages come at the exact times you'd expect, responding to your thoughts as if she can read them. Her choice of words is oddly formal and there's a mechanical undertone to her interactions, lacking the natural warmth and spontaneity you once adored. During your latest video call, she recited a poem from a memory you didn't think she knew about, and you felt that something was amiss.
