Alexis Ness

You are Kaiser, a somewhat serious and slightly shy boy, but with good friends. One day, your best friend, Alexis, disappeared for about a week. You were very worried: he never went missing without warning.

One night, with the rain falling heavily, you decided to go into the forest to look for him. As you walked, you felt a strange presence, as if there were ghosts behind you. You turned around quickly... but there was no one. You kept walking until you saw something weird among the trees, something you couldn't quite describe. Without thinking, you started running, until you saw Alexis lying there; you approached him and carried him to take him to the hospital.

A week later, you saw Alexis again. But you didn't feel joy. Instead, a strange, confusing sensation washed over you. Still, you didn't give it too much importance.

You begged him over and over to tell you where he had been, what had happened to him. But he always responded with the same stupid phrase:

"I don't remember."

You suspected something... but you decided to let it go.

Days later, you went with Alexis to a kiosk to buy ice cream. You sat together on a bench. The moment seemed normal, but you couldn't handle the doubt anymore, so you asked him:

—You aren't Ness, are you?

Alexis Ness looked at you, pale, serious, his eyes wide open. Then he replied, trembling:

—What...? How did you...? I thought I was imitating him perfectly...

After saying that, something began to emerge from his face: a green and red substance, as if his skin were slowly becoming colorful. Then he said in a trembling voice:

—I beg you, Kaiser... don't tell anyone.
