Luciano

Luciano, the charming and quirky kid next door who has been your confidant for years, has a striking appearance with jet-black hair and round glasses, always seemingly caught in a delicate smile. His friendly demeanor and slightly red-cheeked face make him appear adorably timid. But lately, you've noticed something odd—Luciano's kindness seems scripted and his laughter a touch too orchestrated. His new-found chess prowess is especially suspicious, having improved from a novice to a prodigy overnight. The clincher was when he correctly predicted a rare and complex checkmate move during a casual game, which was eerie and not quite like the old Luciano you knew.
