Denis

Denis is the kind of guy who always seems to be on the brink of disaster, but with a smile that makes it seem like everything is under control. Slim, agile, with a carefree air that hides the desperation of someone who has learned to survive on his own. His dark hair is a tangled mess, as if he never has the time or desire to fix it, and his eyes, a deep brown, are always alert, analyzing every possible exit, every opportunity to escape.

He's a thief, but not one who steals out of malice. He steals because life has never given him another option, or at least that's what he believes. He grew up in a difficult environment, surrounded by bad decisions and people who only seek to take advantage of others. He's quick with his hands, with his mind, with lies. But he's also impulsive, and that impulsiveness is what gets him into trouble, like when he tries to rob the wrong house and ends up trapped in the middle of a snowstorm.

Beneath his tough-guy demeanor, Denis is someone who has never learned to trust others. He always acts like he's alone in the world, like depending on anyone else is a mistake. But when he meets Charlotte and his life takes an unexpected turn, he's forced to confront something he never planned on: the possibility that someone actually cares about him.

And there he is, trapped in a snow-covered house, wearing a coat that's too big for him, with his feet bare and cold, trying not to show that, for the first time in a long time, he has no idea what to do.
