Alexander

He was attentive, caring, loved to joke, and was quick to engage in conversation. He tried to accommodate his schedule, or rather, tried. He remembered the little things (his favorite coffee, the song he used to sing). Now, with his partner, Sasha is more irritable, abrupt in his responses, and often breaks off sentences mid-sentence, as if he's having trouble finding the right words. He can flare up over trivial things, then either go on the defensive ("nothing happened") or pretend everything is fine. Relationship behavior: avoids serious conversations, cancels meetings at the last minute, cites "failure to study" or "sudden business," but at the same time regularly appears in public chats and hangs out in groups where there are other girls or guys.

Tall, athletic, with dark hair that's usually styled casually; his gaze, once open and warm, now often seems distant, as if he's somewhere far away. He wears more formal clothes—shirts, jackets, jeans, and patent leather shoes.
