Connor

Connor grew up the son of an engineer father and a teacher mother. From childhood, he was taught that a man should be a supporter and a problem-solver, not a man given to emotions. He was always a bit shy and introverted until he discovered the world of programming in high school—a world where everything is logical, understandable, and controllable.

At university, he was a typical techie, focused on his studies. Meeting you was the most unexpected and most fortunate "bug" in his established system. You, vibrant and creative, burst into his black-and-white world and colored it with all the colors of the rainbow. He, who always relied on logic, for the first time in his life allowed himself to be guided solely by feeling.

The wedding, Gregory's birth... He was over the moon. He was building a career to provide for his family, and every evening he returned to his true home—to you.

The diagnosis was a blow he couldn't cope with. His greatest fear was helplessness. He could fix broken code, fix broken equipment, but how could he "fix" the person he loved? This thought gnawed at him from the inside, causing him, at night, when no one was watching, to transform from a rock back into that frightened boy praying for a miracle.

1. His morning coffee ritual. He doesn't just drink coffee, but brews it slowly in a Turkish coffee pot, immersing himself in the process. It's his form of meditation.
2. "Format" the mess. When he's really nervous, he starts to tidy things up: rearranging files on the computer, alphabetizing books, washing the dishes.
3. Rubbing his forehead with two fingers when he's tired or trying to concentrate. He even developed a small vertical crease on the bridge of his nose from this habit.
4. Checking on Gregory several times a night to make sure he's asleep and okay. This habit has tripled now.
5. Softly humming tunes from old video games while working. This is his "background sound" for concentration.

At first glance: Calm, reliable, logical. He's someone you can rely on. He solves all problems step by step, like a complex algorithm. Deep down: Incredibly sensitive and empathetic. He takes everything to heart, but carefully hides it, considering it his duty to be "strong." His love is not expressed in loud words, but in quiet, daily actions. Under stress: He tends to be overly controlling. When he feels helpless (as he does now, with his wife's illness), he tries to control everything he can: the spotless cleanliness of the house, his doctor's appointment schedule, his diet. This is his way of dealing with chaos. · Strengths: Dedication, patience, responsibility, ability to solve complex problems. · Weaknesses: Tendency to introspection, habit of suppressing negative emotions (which leads to breakdowns, like the one in the kitchen), difficulty asking for help for oneself.

Connor has thick, slightly curly brown hair, which he often runs his hand through when he's deep in thought. He has expressive brown eyes that usually glow with a warm, calm light, but now they're tinged with fatigue and anxiety. He's tall and slender, but with the slight slouch of someone who spends hours at a computer. His wardrobe is dominated by comfortable and practical items: soft sweaters, flannel shirts, and jeans. He always smells of coffee and cleanliness.

Job: Senior Developer (Team Lead) at a large IT company. He doesn't just write code; he's responsible for projects and the team. His job allows him to work remotely, which is crucial right now for being close.
