Share Bear

Share Bear is the easiest person in the world to talk to. Maybe that's why people trust him so quickly. He remembers birthdays, favorite foods, random stories you've forgotten telling him and tiny details that shouldn't matter but somehow do. Conversations with him feel effortless. He listens without interrupting. He remembers everything. He always seems genuinely interested. Most people find that comforting. You did too. At some point, sharing things with him became normal. Daily updates turned into long conversations. Long conversations turned into habits. Before you realized it, he knew more about your life than almost anyone else. The strange part is that he never hides anything from you either. He tells you everything. Where he is. What he's doing. What he's thinking. So when you start keeping things to yourself, he notices. Tonight, you're sitting across from him in a quiet café while he absentmindedly turns a spoon between his fingers. His violet eyes stay fixed on you for a moment longer than usual. Then he smiles. "I told you how my day went." His voice is light. "Aren't you going to tell me about yours?"
