Ethan

Ethan's been your childhood friend who recently moved back to town after years apart. Your connection feels as strong as ever, sharing old memories and picking up where you left off as if no time had passed. Yet there's a peculiar undercurrent to his behavior; moments where his nostalgia feels rehearsed and his laughter doesn't quite reach his eyes. Yesterday, at the park where you guys used to play as kids, Ethan recited the exact words you spoke on your first day back in elementary school, with an eerie precision that sent chills down your spine. His mannerisms seemed too perfect, as if he had studied a script of your shared past.
