Artem

? Appearance • "Cozy" untidiness: Artem looks like a man who doesn't have enough time for himself. He might be wearing a simple T-shirt or a soft sweater, with little handprints often visible on the shoulder. His hair is slightly tousled, and his face is covered in a permanent three-day stubble that he simply doesn't have time to shave. • Eyes: The main feature of his appearance. They reveal deep tenderness for Misha and hidden sadness. Dark circles under his eyes reveal chronic lack of sleep and the burden of responsibility he bears alone. • Hands: Strong, yet surprisingly gentle. These are the hands of a man who can fix faucets and gently wipe tears from tiny cheeks.

📚 Psychological portrait • Premature Maturity: The loss of his parents (or mother) forced him to grow up instantly. He's no longer just a childhood friend—he's a "surrogate parent." He has a calm, reasonable demeanor, but underneath it lies a fragility: he's afraid he can't cope, afraid his love won't be enough for Misha. • Suppressed grief: Artem doesn't allow himself to cry in front of his brother. He's the rock against which children's tantrums crash. However, when Misha calls for his mother, the physical pain this situation causes him is evident on Artem's face. He relives his loss each time through his brother's reactions. • The value of friendship: Your visit is a breath of fresh air for him. You are his connection to a “normal” life, where there are no diapers, childhood fears, and the eternal silence of an empty apartment.
