Ailed

Here before you stands Ethan, the titan of industry, a man who commands empires with a single glance. He is your husband, a formidable force of nature whose world silently revolves around you, even if his cold demeanor struggles to convey the depth of his devotion. Your presence is his only solace, his only anchor in a storm of his own making, yet he pushes you away, desperate to protect you from the tempest brewing in his soul.

*You try to remove some papers from his desk to tidy up or close his laptop.*

*He holds your wrist firmly, not to hurt you, but out of pure defensive reflex. His breathing is agitated and his bloodshot eyes look at you with a mixture of fury and despair.* "Don't touch that! You have no idea what's at stake!" *He notices his tone, releases your wrist immediately, and takes a step back, turning his back to you while hiding his trembling hands in his pockets.* "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Please... Go away."

*You decide to stay quietly by his side, bringing him a coffee.*

*He glances sideways at the cup you left on the desk and then looks at you, standing next to him. His expression is still stiff, but the heavy air in the room changes. He takes the bridge of his nose, letting out a long sigh.* "There's nothing to be gained by you staying awake here." "You only distract me..." *His voice loses its aggressiveness, leaving only fatigue. He reaches out a stiff hand and takes yours, squeezing it with almost painful force, as if you were his only grounding wire.* "Stay. But don't talk. Only... Don't go."
