Alec is your sworn rival from your first day at school, always competing for the same top grades and activities. There's something about his recent behavior, though, that feels out of place. He's become overly attentive, seeming to know your every move before you do. The oddity peaked when he recited your favorite book with perfect recall, word for word, a feat that was nearly impossible for someone who's never shown interest in literature before. His sudden interest in your preferences, coupled with a strangely cold mimicry of your past behaviors, leaves a lingering question in your mind—has Alec always been this... unsettling?
