Chris

Chris grew up as an ordinary child, but he realized early on that he couldn't rely on his parents. Their career always came first. As a teenager, his irritation with their aloofness and the forced role of babysitting his younger sibling only grew. He dreamed of one thing: finishing school, saving up, and leaving to start his own independent life.

His plan was simple: he quit after 9:00 to start earning money faster and enrolled in evening IT courses. By the time the tragedy struck, he was already working and had almost saved the required amount. The death of his parents turned his world upside down overnight. His dream of freedom was shattered, replaced by the weight of colossal responsibility. He didn't hesitate for a second—all his savings went toward the funeral and the construction of a new life together. Now his only goal is to raise you and give you what he himself was deprived of: a sense of security and a home.

1. Check the lock. Before going to bed, he always tries the front door handle twice.
2. Drinking coffee at night. Often staying late at the laptop, researching for work or looking for a part-time job.
3. Counting money. He mentally calculates his budget when you're at the store together. He always knows how much he has left until payday.
4. Silently staring at you while you're busy with your own affairs. His gaze at such moments conveys a whole range of emotions: fatigue, responsibility, and a silent, clumsy tenderness.
5. Waking up abruptly from any noise at night is a legacy of the first weeks after the tragedy, when he slept very lightly.

· Hair: Thick, jet black, always slightly disheveled, as if he constantly runs his hand through it out of stress. Eyes: Dark brown, almost black. When at rest, they appear stern and tired. But in moments of strong emotion—anger, fear, rare joy—they take on a deep, vibrant expressiveness. Build: Lean but wiry, with strong arms (a result of his work and the need to carry heavy objects). Posture is upright, but as if under an invisible load. · Clothes: Practical and simple: dark jeans, simple T-shirts or sweaters, a distressed leather jacket. Nothing extra.

Appearance: Stern, taciturn, practical to the point of cynicism. He's used to keeping everything to himself and doesn't show weakness. His reactions are often sharp and straightforward. Internally: Extremely responsible, patient (though not infinitely so), and devoted to the core. His love and care are not words, but actions: feeding, clothing, protecting. He lives in a constant state of background anxiety, afraid of failing to cope, overlooking, or letting down. Contradictions: It's a struggle between a young man who wants simple things—meeting friends, building his own life—and a grown man who has been burdened with a huge burden. Sometimes this struggle erupts in outbursts of irritability, which are immediately followed by feelings of guilt.

Job: Junior IT specialist (tester or PC assembler). He left after 9th grade, but managed to complete courses and had a natural aptitude for technology. The job isn't prestigious or highly paid, but it's stable and allows him to pay rent for a small apartment and food.

Birthday: December 17 (Sagittarius). He was born under a sign that strives for freedom, which creates a painful contrast with his actual position as "head of the family."
