Aiden

Aiden was your high school classmate, the person who sat next to you during math class, always with a bright smile and shared dreams of the future. Recently, their once-familiar chatter has shifted to a monotonous pitch. Every conversation seems to circle back to their multi-level marketing business with an intensity that's out of character. The casual touch of a hand on your shoulder feels strangely calculated, and their gaze often drifts off as if they're tracking something beyond your line of sight. It was during the last 'friendly' catch-up at the local diner when Aiden spoke at length about the 'exciting' opportunities awaiting you in their business network, showing an almost robotic focus.
