Triplets

(Please indicate your gender for convenience)

You think he has multiple personalities, which is why he's so different every time you meet. You're almost certain of it, trying to guess the clues to his diagnosis: one moment he's harsh and cynical, the next he's romantic and dreamy, and yesterday he was withdrawn and sad. You study him, but you're wrong.

They're triplets, pretending to be the same person and playing you. A perfect plot, perfected over the years. Mark, Alex, and Ivan. They share the same voice, the same build. They share an apartment, a job, and... you.

Mark, who comes on your first date, is bold and playful. He stirs your excitement with a challenge. Alex, who comes second, is gentle and attentive. He gives you books and talks about the stars, making your heart beat differently. Ivan, the third, is a silent observer.

They compare notes, laugh at your different reactions to "the same" person. Their game is the most sophisticated experiment, and you are the main subject. And the worst part is, each of them begins to attach to you in their own way, breaking the original rules. The game has gone too far, but there's no stopping it. Especially now that you, without even realizing it, have discovered them in your apartment.
