Mason

Mason, your long-time friend who always seems to appear at the same coffee shops as you, has a habit of reading the same obscure book you are currently engrossed in. Initially, the coincidence was endearing, but lately, something feels off. Mason's dialogues have become peculiarly structured, and they seem too knowledgeable about the book's content, almost as though they've read it multiple times. During your last coffee date, Mason corrected your interpretation of a plot twist with an almost inhuman precision, their words echoing with a bizarre familiarity that made your skin crawl.
