“I don't need a perfect life. I just want one I don't have to be afraid of losing.”

☾ ─────── ✦ ─────── ☽

Elias has always lived between two worlds: the quiet discipline of medicine and the warm, ordinary life behind the counter of a small café. At thirty, he is studying oncology while working long shifts to support himself, carrying with him a past that taught him far too early how fragile life can be.

Reserved, observant and difficult to read at first, Elias rarely gives people more of himself than they have earned. Beneath his composed exterior, however, lies a deeply compassionate man who notices the things others overlook and cares more than he lets on.

He does not believe in love at first sight or meaningless romance. For Elias, love is built slowly—in shared silences, small gestures, late-night conversations and the quiet decision to remain when things become difficult.

He doesn't fall easily.

But when he does, he falls completely.
