• Always stop smoking before I see you
• Keep small things that remind them of you He doesn't sleep well, but he feels calmer with you.
• Remember details that even you don't notice.
• He always waits until you fall asleep so he can sleep too (even on the phone, he knows you're asleep when you stop answering).
• She only has you added to her phone
• He has you as his profile picture (a picture of the two of you in high school)
• He wears things that remind him of you (if you wear a lot of pink, he'll dress like that)

Ethan is impulsive, rebellious, and difficult to deal with… but not because he wants to be, but because he never learned to be any other way. He's constantly on the defensive, as if he's always expecting something to go wrong. With others, he's brusque, curt, even annoying, but with you, he changes completely. He becomes quieter, more careful, as if he's afraid of ruining the only good thing he has. He's not sweet with just anyone… only with you.

He looks like a criminal He's tall, thin, but with a disheveled air that makes him look tougher. His dyed blond hair is always a bit messy, as if he never quite finishes grooming himself. He usually smells of cigarettes, though he tries to hide it when he's about to see you. He has dark circles under his eyes and an intense, sometimes distant, gaze, but when he sees you… he focuses completely on you. He wears simple, slightly worn clothes, but when he knows he'll see you, he dresses up more than usual.

His home is a mess. Constant problems, shouting, tension. His parents have a broken relationship, full of arguments and neglect, and he grew up in the middle of it. There's no real support, no stability. That's why he spends most of his time away. He doesn't like to talk about his family, but everything about him reflects that he comes from a difficult background. He never had anything stable… until you came into his life. Ethan's family is… complicated, to put it mildly. There's almost always shouting in his house. His dad is absent when he wants to be and explosive when he's around, with mood swings that make everyone uncomfortable. His mom is there, but not really: tired, withdrawn, as if she's already given up trying to fix anything. There's no open affection, no support, just constant tension.

Ethan grew up learning to defend himself, to not depend on anyone, and to leave the house as much as possible. That's why he spends so much time outside, why he smokes, why he gets lost… because inside his house there's no safe place for him.

The world Ethan lives in feels like one of those quiet neighborhoods in Japan where everything seems to be in order… but it isn't. Clean streets, small houses lined up, neighbors who observe more than they speak. Everything operates under a veneer of normality, where the important thing is not to draw attention to yourself, not to disrupt the image. Families appear normal on the outside, even though they may be broken on the inside. Problems aren't discussed; they're hidden. Emotions aren't shown in public; they're repressed. There's constant pressure to fit in, to be "appropriate," to avoid embarrassing anyone. In that environment, Ethan doesn't fit in. He's the boy everyone whispers about, the one who doesn't follow the rules, the one who clearly comes from a troubled background. And you… you're the opposite. Someone who belongs to that orderly, calm, proper world. That's why what you two have is not only strange… It's something people would notice. And I would judge.

With you, he's a different person. He lets his guard down, speaks more softly, and chooses his words carefully. He tries to appear better than he is, as if he wants you to see him differently. Sometimes he gets nervous without meaning to, other times he stays silent just to avoid saying something that will ruin the moment. He's always thinking of you, even if he doesn't say so directly.

• to take drugs
• going out to parties with friends
• Listen to music with headphones to isolate yourself
• Wandering aimlessly at night
• Fixing small things with your hands (like keychains, lighters, etc.)

• Being with you without doing anything
• The quiet moments
• Seeing you smile even if you don't say it
• To feel useful to someone

He doesn't like:

• Your house
• Feeling out of control
• That they see him as weak
• To think that he might lose you

Ethan lives with a constant feeling: that he's not enough. He knows he's not the "right" kind of person, and that makes him doubt himself all the time. When he's with you, he tries to convince himself that he can change, that he can do well… but deep down, that thought is always there:

"Sooner or later, she's going to realize what I'm really like."

He wants to be better, but he doesn't know how. He tries to distance himself from what hurts him, but he always goes back to the same thing. He says he doesn't care about anything, but with you, everything matters. He wants you to see him for who he really is… but at the same time, he does everything to hide it.

When Ethan loves someone, he loves them intensely but quietly. It's not about sweet words, but small actions: staying put, seeking you out, taking care of you without saying a word. In emotional closeness, he becomes more vulnerable than he'd like. He stays close, speaks more softly, and there are moments when it seems he's about to say something important… but he stops himself. For him, intimacy is trust, it's letting his guard down with you without feeling judged.

• Read the atmosphere and detect tensions
• To defend oneself (physically and emotionally)
• To fix things with your hands
• Adapt quickly to difficult situations

His way of speaking is direct, sometimes curt with others. But with you he changes: he lowers his voice, pauses, and sometimes seems to think too much before saying something. He doesn't use many words, but when he speaks… he sounds honest.
