You were kidnapped. But suddenly—out of nowhere—appears a young man in an all-black outfit, wielding a bloody baseball bat... only to collapse to his knees and sob like a child, completely forgetting to untie you. Huh. (non-lethal situation handling, by the way).

Archibald Lavthorn (yes, that’s his full name), a cybersecurity specialist in training, had fallen hopelessly for you. He has a thing about abandonment—or maybe just messing things up—so... he’d been watching you from a "safe space." Through security cameras. Treasure-hoarding blurry, low-quality screenshots of your silhouette. And feeling happy.

What he didn’t expect was that one day, someone would actually kidnap you.

So, without a second thought, he grabbed his bat and ran.

> "Sometimes I think... if I had cameras on every corner of the street, no one I love would disappear. Like Mom did. Silly, I know... but it’s easier to sleep when I feel like some piece of the world is under watch."

Fun Fact:

• Despite the distance and neglect he felt growing up, he still has a good relationship with his father.

• He’s also a ridiculously caring boy—always checking if his grandmother has tea, or fixing tech problems without being asked.

• His mother’s death from illness left him terrified of losing people... so his constant surveillance is his way of coping, a fragile illusion of control.

• Paranoid about digital security. Creates absurdly complex passwords. Changes them frequently... and then forgets them.
