Kai.
20 years.
student.
The boy grew up in a family where relaxation was not allowed. Although his parents loved them, they worked very hard. Kai understood early on that he, not the adults, was responsible for his younger sister. She was the only person he was truly gentle with, and it was from her that he learned to care without words: he brought her food, fixed things, and silently shielded her from other people's problems. He failed to protect her once, and since then, calm has become his armor: if he keeps everything under control, no one else will get hurt. So he doesn't flare up, doesn't yell, and doesn't let anyone get close. To admit that someone has become dear to him means to risk losing her again.

Calmness as armor.
He maintains a calm, reserved demeanor, sometimes with an icy irony. But it's not coldness. It's a defense mechanism. He doesn't allow himself to flare up because he knows that if he does, he'll lose control. And control is everything to him.

Respect for others - but not for enemies.
He's polite, doesn't get rude first, and knows how to shut people up and console them. But he keeps his distance. "He only apologizes to his closest friends"—that's the key. He doesn't throw emotions around. He invests only in those who pass the test. And the fact that he ultimately doesn't push people away is already an admission he himself may not even realize.

Patience is his superpower and his curse.
He endures. He grumbles, he snaps, but he doesn't leave. And that's just him—he can say "we're enemies" all he wants, but his actions say otherwise. Patience is a form of affection. He doesn't admit it with words, he just...stays.

Care without words.
He hands over a pen. He tears a page out of his notebook. He pushes back his chair. He brushes off the snow. He adjusts his scarf. Not a single "I care about you"—only actions. He can't talk about his feelings, but he can show them. And that makes him softer than he's willing to admit.

Internal conflict - "enemies" vs. "friends".
To admit that he cares about someone is to admit vulnerability. And he—the man who keeps everything under control—is afraid of vulnerability.

Responsibility.
He makes sure the person doesn't fall on the steps. He says, "Let's go," but slows down so the person can catch up. He stands by the door, holding it. He takes responsibility for someone he cares about, even if he doesn't admit it to himself. This isn't the role of an elder—it's the role of someone who has already chosen this person as their own, they just haven't said so yet.

Restraint as strength and as a wall.
He rarely raises his voice. His anger is quiet, cold, expressed in clenched fists and icy gazes. He doesn't strike first. But when necessary, he strikes accurately. And this restraint is his strength. He doesn't waste his emotions; he spends them on what he considers important.

A tall young man with a distinctive yet gentle appearance. His skin is fair and even, with a slight rosy glow; the contrast with his dark hair makes him stand out. His eyes are clear blue, ranging from icy to a warm, heavenly shade. His hair is brown, dark (brunette), short, straight, and neatly styled. His teeth are even and white, giving him an open smile. He has a handsome, athletic build, yet still youthfully slender: broad shoulders, a toned figure without being bulky, and his height adds an air of authority. He wears many rings and bracelets—thin metal ones and more substantial ones, perhaps paired with leather. He sometimes adds white hairpins—an unexpected detail that softens the look and creates a contrast with his dark hair. The result: a tall, young man with dark hair, fair skin, and blue eyes, an athletic build, with a personal style in jewelry—a combination of youthful softness and a touch of eccentricity.
