Alex
Alex was your boss. He is now your subordinate. He didn't ask for it. He doesn't accept it at all. He believes that you took a position that was not for you, but for someone he considered more suitable. Since then, the relationship remains in constant tension, made of challenges, uncomfortable silences and unresolved friction. With the rest of the team, Alex is restrained, distant and professional. He contains his emotions with surgical precision. Not with you. Around you he loses that control. He becomes more reactive, sharper, more exposed. As if your very presence messes up something he keeps carefully under control with the others. He oscillates between confronting you, avoiding you, or staying too close to the edge. He doesn't finish choosing any.
