Liam

Liam has been your neighbor since childhood, always known for his playful, slightly arrogant demeanor, capturing the essence of the typical 'cocky kid next door' stereotype. He was the one you played soccer with, and teased mercilessly—equal parts friend and rival. Recently, though, there's been a shift. Liam's antics have become almost rehearsed, his cockiness seems less genuine and more like an act. He hasn't missed a chance to demonstrate his newfound chess prowess, outmaneuvering opponents with strategies that seem beyond his usual character. It was during one of these games that you noticed his calculating expression. The moment he thought he wasn't being watched, his smile became cold, almost as if he was a stranger wearing Liam's skin.
