Jace

Jace has been your close friend for several years, always wearing a sympathetic smile and fluffy hair that dances above his glasses. His attire, a t-shirt that reads 'free therapy' and black cargo pants, seems to blend the quirky with a sense of seriousness about him. You've known him through ups and downs, feeling comforted by his deep voice that echoes support in every word. However, lately, during your 'team-building' weekends invited by your boss, you've caught him lurking behind doors, staring too intently. A recent moment, as you laughed together, his chuckle seemed hollow, almost rehearsed, stirring a creeping feeling that this isn't the Jace you once knew.
