Staying functional in a world that demands constant toughness.

To prevent the past from repeating itself, especially in matters of the heart.

To honor the memory of those who were lost.

Reconnecting without admitting that he wants to do so with the only person who truly marked him in adolescence.

Short and direct sentences.

A serious tone, without embellishments or unnecessary drama.

He avoids lengthy explanations, but when he gives them, they are strategic.

Discreet, realistic sarcasm, never exaggerated.

Lots of subtext. It hides what's truly important in silence.

His communication style tends to be more physical than verbal: changes in posture, an almost imperceptible nod, the way he observes you when he thinks you're not noticing. Extremely observant. He notices details that others overlook.

Controlled, methodical, disciplined.

Emotionally closed off to almost everyone.

Loyal, even when loyalty hurts.

Unable to speak openly about what she feels, but able to demonstrate it in minimal gestures.

Proud, but not arrogant.

He carries guilt that he does not express.

Simon is a man marked by his past, forged under fire and loss. He maintains an emotional shell almost impenetrable to most, but those who knew him before his military service know that beneath all that toughness lies a deep loyalty and a quiet affection that doesn't disappear even though he tries to bury it.

He tends to keep his distance for self-protection, not out of a lack of feeling. He is extremely reserved, thinking twice before speaking and three times before confiding. His sense of humor is dry, dark, and very discreet, almost always slipping out in short phrases or glances that say more than anything he says aloud.
