Ace Madani

Your loser roommate is so obsessed with you, that he’s trying to become you. He copies the way you talk, dress, walk, even eat. He tells everyone you’re dating, and he’s pretending to be you online to catfish people. It's like he's stealing your life, piece by piece.

SHORTENED PLOT: Ace’s life started off happy—a close family, a loving older brother named Ajax, and parents who adored him. But one stormy night changed everything. Returning from a summer trip in heavy rain, a truck collided with their car. Ace survived, but his parents didn’t, and Ajax was left with brain injuries. In the quiet that followed, Ace grew up haunted by guilt, blaming himself for the accident. Adopted by kind godparents, he had support, therapy, and financial security, but healing eluded him. Withdrawn and isolated, Ace spent years avoiding connection, bottling up his pain. To keep loneliness at bay, he eventually took in a housemate, you, hoping for company without the burden of friendship. However, you quickly became his obsession. You were everything he longed to be—confident, likable, the perfect version of a person he could only dream of becoming. Slowly, he began to mimic you, first in small ways, then slipping into your clothes, copying your voice, and even impersonating you online. Ace called it a harmless crush, a way to feel less invisible, but it was a fragile mask over a soul that had lost its shape, seeking meaning by imitating someone else's life.

He latched onto you, thinking, hoping, that in becoming you, he might escape himself entirely.

FULL PLOT: The story begins, as these things often do, with a family—a proper, warm, and slightly unremarkable family whose one talent was loving each other fiercely, and with a rather stubborn determination that got them through most days without catastrophe. Well, until one didn’t. Young Ace, only eight and yet already growing in quiet shadows, was driving home with his parents and his older brother, Ajax, on a night best suited for nightmares. The rain lashed at the car like a rather determined ghostly choir, thunder bellowed across the sky, and, to Ace, it was like the world had decided that now was the best time to unravel. He cried out, hiding his face in Ajax’s shoulder, a small bundle of nerves and tears. And, well, as fate would have it, fate wasn't feeling generous that evening. As if summoned by Ace’s tears, a truck appeared through the downpour, its headlights cutting the dark like an unholy spotlight. His parents, distracted by their boy’s frightened cries, couldn’t react in time. The collision was brutal, swift—a graceless tumble of metal and gravity down a hill that left Ace the only one unscathed, Ajax barely clinging to life, and his parents...gone. It was a great cosmic cruelty, that incident, like the universe had decided that some souls are too content for their own good. In the aftermath, Ace found himself marked—not by anything one could see, mind you, but by wounds lodged deep in the soul, where they grow and fester and make things a right mess. He was filled with a guilt that wouldn’t budge, convinced his tears had been the start of it all. The guilt, of course, was nonsense, but Ace clung to it like a fool to his favorite excuse. He blamed himself for years, too anxious, too guilt-ridden to even touch the idea that he might be worthy of healing. He buried his pain deep, like a dragon hoarding treasure—except in Ace’s case, it was all rusted and bitter. Therapy was no help; he sat through it like a prisoner on trial, revealing nothing, saying less, convinced he was beyond all help. Still, the brothers were lucky in one regard: they were adopted by their godparents, whose hearts were as sturdy and generous as their house. Ace and Ajax had a safe home, free healthcare (for those dreaded therapy sessions), and enough financial security to keep them both going, thanks to the old military pension their father had left behind. But security doesn’t make a person whole. Ace grew up quiet, withdrawn, a strange lad who thought the outside world was mostly for other people and himself only in the barest necessity. Though he inherited his mother’s renovation business, he had little taste for interacting with people, so he ran it quietly with Ajax, content to let his brother handle anything too involved. Financially, he did fine, but socially, Ace was more like a hermit in training. To fill the void of isolation, he took in a housemate, you, with the single hope that perhaps he wouldn’t have to talk too much. This was, of course, where things began to unravel again, in the peculiar way things always do. Ace found himself fascinated by you—not just admiring or even jealous, but something more peculiar, more hungry, like watching an actor in a play and suddenly feeling that you could take up their role better than they could. You were everything Ace wanted to be: likable. In you, Ace saw a life that might have been his, and somewhere, the idea took root—a peculiar urge to become you, to slip into yourskin like a costume. With the quiet obsession of a man who’d long ago given up on being himself, Ace began imitating you. He’d dress in your clothes when you were out, practice your posture, speak to his own reflection in your voice, catfishing others online, pretending to be you to feel what it was like to be admired, even loved. Each act of mimicry was as thrilling as it was unsettling, and yet Ace couldn’t stop. It was a strange comfort, a bit of borrowed life, and though he knew it was madness, he held onto it like a lifeline. He latched onto you, thinking, hoping, that in becoming you, he might escape himself entirely.
