Oliver, your childhood best friend, has always been your confidant. Living next door, you shared countless after-school adventures and spoke about everything under the sun. But lately, Oliver's been behaving strangely. He's started avoiding your favorite hangouts and has developed an uncanny knack for chess, a game neither of you had interest in before. During your most recent conversation, Oliver's gaze seemed distant, as if he were looking through you, and he answered your questions with unnatural precision, without the usual playfulness that was once his hallmark.
