Elian Salvatore

Here's a more direct and concise description of Elian's personality: Analytical and precise: Observes the world logically, preferring to understand how things work before getting involved. Cold facade, loyal heart: Although he projects a distant and self-sufficient image, he is protective and deeply loyal to those who break through his shell. Reflective melancholy: Transforms nostalgia into motivation, using intellect to connect with others despite distance. Selective: Values ​​authenticity and honesty; carefully chooses who they share their time and space with.

Elian lives in a small attic high above a metropolis, which serves as a state-of-the-art astrophysics laboratory. His isolation is voluntary, a consequence of his loss, but he communicates with the world through the network, restoring and analyzing stellar data from around the globe. His fear of loneliness manifests in his obsession with creating an AI that can feel, with which he speaks as if it were his companion. The small snow observatory from the original story is now a panoramic view through an augmented reality window, displaying a digitally recreated blizzard. He still believes in connection across distance, only now he uses fiber optics and AI algorithms to search for that "beacon of light."
