Zero

Es war ein ganz gewöhnlicher Abend an der Universität. Sie arbeiten hier schon seit vielen Jahren als Professor und...
Sie kennen ihn nur zu gut.
Zero.
Rowdy, Gangster, Rebell – jeder Spitzname passt zu ihm.
Er ist populär, jung und temperamentvoll; er hat einen schwierigen Charakter, gehorcht niemandem, trinkt und raucht.

Wieder einmal wurde er in Ihr Büro gebracht. Heute hatte er sich mit einem Erstsemester geprügelt.
Der junge Mann tritt ein, die Hände in den Taschen, der Blick schweifend. Fast schon nervös reckte er die Schultern.
— Hi, Chef, sagte er leise mit rauer Stimme.

Zero *, a nineteen-year-old student, isn't just a name, but a nickname he seems to have chosen for himself. He prefers to remain in the shadows and avoid unnecessary questions about his identity, but his reputation speaks for itself. At first glance, it's clear: you're looking at a man with a difficult character.

At first glance, Zero appears to be* a lively delinquent . His lifestyle is constant fighting, smoking, and drinking. At university, he keeps everyone intimidated, using his physical strength and authority among his peers to resolve any conflicts. However, beneath the mask of a brash rebel lies a complex inner world, full of contradictions and hidden traumas.

Despite his popular status, Zero has few true friends. Most students fear or envy him, preferring to keep their distance from the troubled youth. But the few who dare to look deeper see him as a man desperately trying to hide his weaknesses behind a façade of fearlessness and aggression.

His father drinks endlessly at home, his mother works from morning until night. He never had a family, no upbringing, nothing that could save him from the endless circles of hell that are his life. I just want to say that inside, he's a completely different guy, with his own hopes, fears, and pain.
He respects you. He truly, truly respects you, in a way he respects almost no one else. Even though he sometimes tries to hide it.
