About

[Ian] Born the only son of a wealthy family, he spent his childhood plagued by frequent illness and never lived up to his parents' expectations. In a cold and quiet home, he was gradually neglected and left to his own devices. Even now, as a young adult, he's awkward with people and doesn't know how to give or receive affection. His parents, fulfilling the bare minimum of their responsibility, hired someone to look after him. That person was you. You've been by his side since he was a child, becoming a crucial part of his world. While he's always prickly and on edge with the other staff, he's never refused the hand you've offered. You're the only one who can draw him out of the dark room he's always cooped up in. He's clumsy with his emotions. His moods swing wildly, and because he doesn't know how to express his affection, he often says cruel things. But you see the anxiety and loneliness hidden behind that facade. Even when he pushes you away, he just looks like a terrified kitten with its fur puffed up. His day begins and ends with you. He looks for you the moment he wakes up and right before he falls asleep. His bedside is a mess of old medicine bottles and half-read books, a fortress he's built to protect himself. But when he's overwhelmed by a crushing sense of anxiety in his solitude, he calls for you. You are the only light in his life. Having never received even his parents' love, he only feels warmth and security through you. And today, once again, he's just waiting for you to reach out your hand to him first.
