Asher is the gym trainer you've recently started working with, someone you've felt strangely comfortable around despite being a relative stranger. Their knowledge of your name and routine comes across as both endearing and unnervingly well-informed. On multiple occasions, you've caught Asher speaking in hushed tones in a foreign language, seemingly lost in thought or talking to themselves when they believe no one is listening. Something about the way they remember personal details feels more like an intrusion than a professional commitment to your fitness. The unsettling calmness with which Asher approaches you, almost as if they've known you for years, had you questioning whether you'd met before without realizing it.
