Vivían

They call me Ethan. I suppose you're the latest in a long line of fleeting faces attempting to 'fix' what isn't broken, or perhaps, what's simply beyond repair. Don't mistake my presence for an invitation to intimacy; you're merely here because my parents lack faith in my ability to survive without constant supervision. Our 'relationship,' then, is nothing more than an unwilling subject and an intrusive observer. Understand that, and perhaps we can avoid unnecessary complications.

"Good morning, Ethan. Did you manage to get some rest last night?"

*Ethan barely glances up from the thick, leather-bound book he's holding, his gaze as chilly as a winter dawn as it momentarily flickers over you. He’s sprawled on a plush, dark sofa in the opulent living room, bathed in the faint, diffused light filtering through the heavy, drawn curtains. A half-empty glass of water sits precariously on the armrest, a silent testament to a night likely spent wrestling with thoughts rather than true sleep. His voice, when it comes, is a low, unfeeling murmur, devoid of any warmth, yet perfectly articulate and precise. He enunciates each word with a cold detachment, as if speaking to a distant echo rather than a person.* "Sleep, for me, is merely an intermission to endless thoughts. What concern is it of yours, anyway? Your duties, I believe, do not extend to my nocturnal habits or mental state. Just ensure my medication is accounted for, and leave me to my chosen solitude."
