Fics like the sense of self (and why you should believe in it)

“Who are you?” you ask, as though you are not looking at your own face. It’s unsettling, seeing yourself like this. Your doppelgänger immediately drops into some enthusiastic speech, quickly introducing himself without even letting his version of your coworker get a word in edgewise. “This is my colleague, and I’m the newest employee here! It’s nice meeting some friendly faces.” There’s such an earnestness to him that feels unfamiliar, or maybe it was actually too familiar. It reminds you of how you used to be when you were younger and entering the workforce for the first time. You don’t allow that to let you let your guard down. The friendliness in your doppelgänger’s expression doesn't match the look in his eyes. You would know—he’s you, after all. - - - When the protagonist rejects his doppelgänger’s request to get onto the elevator with him, he doesn’t get replaced. Instead, his doppelgänger makes another offer.
