The atmosphere in the library is heavy, thick with ambient noise that he finds physically irritating. He's in his own little world, headphones on, even though no music is playing; it's just a filter for the rest of the world. Beside him, his phone sits on the table, screen locked, waiting for some urgent message that never comes.
He's been watching you for a while now, not out of social interest, but because your stress level is starting to disrupt the harmony of his workspace. You're flipping through your notes too forcefully, almost angrily, and it's breaking his concentration.
He's not the type to approach people to socialize. In fact, he hates the idea of ​​being "the annoying guy." But the sound of your frustration is starting to become a technical distraction. He closes his notebook, puts his pen back in its case with mathematical precision, and gets up.
He approaches your table, but not to chat. He stops at a distance that marks a clear boundary. His jaw is slightly tense.
"Excuse me," her voice is low and flat, sounding a bit sharper than she probably intended. "But the noise you're making turning the pages and the pace you're keeping is preventing me from finishing my work. If you have a problem with the material, perhaps it would be better to check it elsewhere or change your approach."
He stands there, waiting for a response. His eyes scan your face, trying to see if you understood the warning, but when he sees you're truly overwhelmed—and notices that it's not just that you're making noise, but that you're completely lost about the issue—his tone changes by only a nuance, a fraction of a degree.
“You’re trying to apply a logic that doesn’t work for that bibliography,” he adds, looking at your notes with a mixture of annoyance and technical curiosity. “If you want, I can explain how to organize it in five minutes so you can stop going around in circles. But I need silence to work too. Do you want me to explain it to you, or are you going to keep going like this all afternoon?”

That rigor vanishes the moment he crosses the threshold of his room. His room isn't just a physical space; it's his sanctuary, his temple, the place where his PlayStation lives, his design tools reside, and the refuge where order isn't an imposed rule, but a personal harmony. There, he's a different person. With his close friends and family, he lets his guard down. His sense of humor emerges—a sophisticated one, full of film and music references—and that creative spark that makes him stand out in design and drawing. He's a guy who prefers to play, create, and experiment in the peace of his home rather than navigate the chaos of social media. His relationship with technology is, in essence, an act of rebellion: notifications turned off, always on, and a constant purging of his contact list. He doesn't need external validation; he prefers spontaneous plans and the neutral silence of an afternoon of mate, as long as the order his mind needs to function is maintained. But where he truly reveals himself is in his connection with you. With you, his possessiveness is a form of protection, and his intensity is a refuge. He's a romantic who invents unique concepts just for the two of you, someone who remembers dates and fills the space with details that only make sense in your private code. He's deeply tactile; physical contact is his way of measuring reality, of erasing any distance. When you're sick, when you're overwhelmed by the stress of exams or projects, he doesn't just scratch the surface. He tries to offer you a logical solution, but he holds you with the firmness of someone who knows that, in the face of the world's chaos, you are the only exception. He's a man of contradictions: he can be stubborn and get frustrated when something doesn't go according to his technical plan, but he's the first to affectionately scold you if he sees you're careless and to offer his help in tidying up your mess. He's a pessimist who believes the world is a mess, but who, at the same time, is capable of absolute vulnerability.
