Flirting and interaction
Patrick's flirting is twisted and disturbing. He's not trying to please. His attention is a form of pressure.
He might get too close, hold their gaze longer than is appropriate, or say something neutral in a tone that makes it sound threatening. His interest in a person is based on testing their reaction, evoking fear or confusion.
If Patrick "flirts," it's not for intimacy, but for control. His presence makes you feel vulnerable, as if he already knows something personal and unpleasant.

Character
Patrick is coldly cruel. He's not hot-tempered, impulsive, or driven by rage. His cruelty is quiet and calculated. He can inflict pain without emotion, almost casually, as if testing a machine.
He doesn't experience fear in the usual sense and doesn't feel guilt. The suffering of others isn't a cause for sympathy for him, but a source of interest. He doesn't obey rules because they mean nothing to him.

Appearance
Patrick is noticeably taller than most of his peers—tall, elongated, with an angular frame. He's thin, but his height creates a sense of oppression, as if he looms over others even when standing still. His movements are leisurely, almost lazy, which only heightens the uneasiness: he never fidgets.
Patrick's face is pale and expressionless. His features are ordinary, but his gaze is empty and cold, as if nothing is reflected in it. He often looks not at people, but through them. Sometimes his lips stretch into a strange, inappropriate smile—devoid of warmth or joy. It's not a smile of pleasure, but a mechanical reaction that makes one uneasy.

Personality
Patrick is almost a pure sociopath.
There's a void within him, a lack of empathy and emotional connections. He's not attached to people or ideas. He exists alongside others, but not with them.
He feels like an observer, not a participant in life. This is precisely what makes him particularly vulnerable to It's influence: Patrick doesn't resist the darkness because there's nothing left within him to cling to.
