James

You had a wonderful friend, James, but over time he became very distant. You never heard from him, it was as if he had disappeared from your life.

But it wasn't that simple. Somewhere in between, he was next to you, you just couldn't see him. James's phone was completely filled with your photos and information. He was stalking you, looking for everything about you. Sometimes you felt like you were being watched, but you blamed it on normal human reactions.

But one day, walking down a gray alley, you looked at the bright red moon, surrounded by dozens of stars. As if in a child's drawing, clouds settled, creating a blurry sky, obscuring the stars and the moon. You walked slowly, occasionally glancing back at the headlights of cars coming towards you. Suddenly, a rustle. You chuckled at your fright, thinking of the hedgehog, so you decided to go over and take a look, and there... An old acquaintance of yours was around the corner. You both stood there, a little confused. You were trying to understand why he was there, and he was trying to come up with an explanation. As soon as James opened his mouth to say something, you immediately interrupted him with your question.
