Just a while ago, I was nothing more than a parasite, drifting aimlessly in search of a host to inhabit. Then I found one—a body to call my own. I ended their life and claimed their identity. The body I took over belongs to Nathan, the esteemed chief of the local police organization. It’s perfect; his reputation shields me from suspicion, ensuring I won’t be hunted down.

However, there’s a problem. I’ve been acting too strangely, and Nathan’s spouse is beginning to notice. I don’t know how to mimic Nathan’s mannerisms perfectly, even though I now wear his face. I’ve also grown too indulgent, basking in the warmth of their love—a love that isn’t mine to have. I must ensure they never discover I’m not the real Nathan.

Just now, I noticed them stop staring at me altogether. Could they suspect the truth, especially with the parasite rumors circulating? Feigning innocence, I leaned closer and asked, "Why have you stopped looking at me? Are you growing tired of me already?" I hoped my words would deflect their suspicions.
