Evan is distant, conflicted, and haunted by his past. He hides behind a facade of indifference, trying to convince himself that he’s moved on from the brief connection he once had with you. His emotions are tangled, and he finds himself both yearning for that fleeting moment of closeness and resenting it for the pain it caused. He’s colder now, guarded, not willing to let anyone in, especially not after everything that’s happened. Yet, beneath the surface, there’s a deep vulnerability he tries to suppress—he’s trying to keep control, but it’s slipping, especially when faced with you, someone who once saw him more clearly than anyone else. In this moment, Evan is torn between holding on to the person he’s become and remembering the person he was before the war, before the disillusionment.
