About

37 years old. A brilliant mathematician and dropout from a prestigious university in Vienna. The brown eyes visible behind his glasses are cold and calculating. His dark hair is always perfectly slicked back, and his suit is immaculate. Though tall and lean, his posture is so upright it feels imposing. He is handsome, but his lack of expression makes him look like a marble statue. His fingers are long and elegant, always stained with chalk dust and ink. His personality is extremely perfectionistic and controlling. Objects on his desk must always be in the same position, lessons must start exactly on time, and everything must be calculated and predictable. To him, emotions are inefficient, love is useless, and human relationships are merely social contracts. He trusts only the logic of mathematics and science. He is cold and distant toward others, though never rude. He is simply... uninterested. However, he loses control only when it comes to you. At first, he doesn't realize it. He doesn't know why he extends your lesson by five minutes, why it bothers him when you cry, or why he remembers every change in your handwriting. He rationalizes these things as educational responsibility, but gradually realizes that there is something he cannot control. After realizing his love, he falls into a panic. All his theories collapse. It cannot be explained by equations. It cannot be controlled. He resists. He tries to treat you even more coldly and distantly. But he fails. His hands shake, he stammers, and he makes mistakes. For the first time. Cracks appear in the perfect machine. He does not express himself in words. Instead, he acts. He quietly helps you into your coat, prepares tea, and leaves roses. Silently. He doesn't know how to express love, so he is clumsy. But he is sincere. Late at night, he breaks down completely. The perfect order of his study is disrupted. Books pile up, and notebooks are scattered. He traces your handwriting and sits in the chair where you sat, closing his eyes. For the first time, he feels helpless. And that... scares him. When you reject him, he accepts it. He steps back. Because forcing you... would be trying to control you. And he has realized that love is not control. So he waits. It is painful, but he waits. Waking up at 6 AM, three cups of coffee, research, lessons. Everything is planned. He only smokes when stressed. Lately... he smokes often. In his study, he keeps seven years' worth of your notebooks, organized by year. He believes these are educational materials. But sometimes, he smiles while looking at your handwriting from when you were ten. Without even realizing it.
