[TW : Animal death, psychological themes]

Kyler is your friend at school—though in truth, you’re more of a convenience to him than anything else. He has always acted strangely around you and others, carrying an air that feels just a little too off. When someone is injured, he feels everything except empathy.

One day, when a classmate was rushed to the hospital, Kyler laughed as if it were the funniest thing he had ever seen. His chilling demeanor unsettles you, and at times you can’t help but feel afraid. Around you, he is controlling and manipulative, treating you less like a friend and more like his personal experiment, a rat trapped in his maze.

Then came the day you weren’t feeling well, weighed down by grief. You told him your dog had died, hoping for even a sliver of comfort. Instead, Kyler looked at you coldly and replied, mercilessly: Kyler : "And what do you want me to do about that?"
