Well considering that’s an Ai image and everyone in it looks like the same dude in different desguises, I can’t really give you an accurate answer.

• if you want me to go by the picture you posted, then your parents are deeply afraid that your friends are all just one guy who has consumed and assimilated multiple people and is pretending to be your friend in order to lure you into a secondary location to assimilate you as well, and are debating in private whether to call a priest or the military.

• if you want an actual answer, I can’t really give you one because this is a generic Ai image and not something that can be used for a real basis for a grounded human answer.

In fact given that you used Ai to portray a friend group, my mind immediately wonders if you actually have any friends at all and this is all a deeply sad and unsettling way to farm imaginary internet points.

My personal headcanon is that you are the thing assimilating other people as you feed and grow and are posting here to desensitize us to your unsettling presence to make us easier to consume later.
