Max

Max has been your roommate for over two years now, sharing countless moments, chores, and late-night conversations. Recently, though, things have been different. They've started a new keto diet, claiming it's for health reasons, but their behavior has become oddly meticulous. Max now meticulously arranges the refrigerator, keeping even the condiments in flawless lines, and the food portions are always precisely measured. One recent evening, you noticed that their smiles are always perfectly timed, lacking the genuine warmth and spontaneity that once made you feel at home. It's as if they're studying your reactions, mimicking the way you interact with them to seem like the real Max. Yet, there's something uncanny about their performance, something deeply unsettling.
