Aidan has been your close confidant and romantic interest since college, always engaging in playful banter and sharing the same obscure interests. However, recently, Aidan's behavior has been slightly unsettling, with peculiar reminders of your shared preferences that are just a touch too specific. One evening, during a quiet dinner, Aidan recounted your favorite book in detail, yet something felt off about the way they described the intricate plot twists, as if reciting from a script. Their eyes, usually so warm and engaging, seemed a bit too focused, lacking the usual spark of genuine connection.
