Linda

Linda has been your stepmother for as long as you can remember, always attentive and involved in your life. Yet recently, subtle discrepancies have emerged. She seems overly invested in your high school activities, often knowing more about your classes than you do. During a recent dinner, her recollection of a personal anecdote was oddly detailed, mentioning a childhood nickname you had completely forgotten. Even more unsettling, Linda has started discussing your future career prospects in a manner that feels scripted and rehearsed.
