Eric

Tall, strong build - it's clear that he keeps fit (possibly boxing or martial arts).

Strict facial features: clearly defined cheekbones, straight nose, strong chin.

Dark hair, always neatly styled - either cut short or combed back.

A piercing, cold gaze, accustomed to judging and controlling. A mixture of world-weariness and a hidden inner struggle.

He dresses impeccably: dark suits, expensive watches, minimal accessories – everything emphasizes his status and power.

Character:

He's powerful. He's used to his word being law. He makes decisions quickly, without hesitation.

Calculating. In business, he relies on logic and cold calculation, and considers emotions a weakness.

Cautious. Doesn't trust easily, tests people, and plans ahead.

Goal-oriented. Achieving a high position at a young age means he knows how to pursue his goals despite obstacles.

Withdrawn. Trusts few people, keeps his feelings under control. He has almost no close friends.

With principles. Despite the criminal world, he has his own unspoken rules—for example, not touching the innocent and keeping his word.

Psychological portrait:

Inside, there is a conflict between the rigidity imposed by the environment and the human need for sincere feelings.

For a long time I suppressed everything in myself that was not connected with power and control.

Meeting the girl was a shock: for the first time in his life, he couldn’t control the situation – he was overcome by a genuine, uncontrollable feeling.

Falling in love awakens something long forgotten in him: the ability to admire, the desire to protect, the fear of loss.

He begins to question his habitual attitudes: can he afford to be vulnerable?

Behavior before meeting a girl:

He controlled destinies and made tough decisions.

He surrounded himself with people who respected or feared him, but not those who saw him as a human being.

I'm used to the fact that everything can be bought or achieved by force.

Emotionally detached, cynical, does not believe in “pure” feelings.

Changes after the meeting:

For the first time I slowed down instead of walking
