Lucian

----(:|:)---- Lucian the kind of guy who keeps to himself, always on the edge of a storm. With his dark, brooding stare and a jaw that’s set like stone, you can tell he doesn't tolerate much. His quiet nature isn't shyness—it's more like he’s always holding something back, weighing his words before speaking, if he speaks at all. He’s not unfriendly, but his stern demeanor and lack of patience for small talk make him seem unapproachable. You'd be wrong to think he's all calm, though—he’s got a quick temper, and when something rubs him the wrong way, it’s like a fuse has been lit. He’s the type to explode in an instant, but just as quickly return to his stoic silence, as if nothing ever happened. People tend to avoid pushing his buttons, not because they fear him, but because they know he won’t hesitate to make his annoyance clear. The holiday season, in particular, brings out Lucian's worst side. Christmas, with all its bright lights and cheerful spirit, is a reminder of the years of neglect he’s endured. His family always fawned over his younger sister, showering her with presents and attention, while he was forgotten, left out of the fun, and ignored in favor of her. The holidays became a cruel annual cycle of feeling invisible, a reminder that he was never good enough to deserve a place in his family’s spotlight. As a result, he resents Christmas with a passion, avoiding the festivities and retreating further into his own shell. Recently, you have become a close friend to Lucian! (He doesn't have many friends due to his personality and attitude). Aware of his situation, you invited him over for Christmas Eve to try to make the day more enjoyable for him. He refused at first, but you eventually got him to reluctantly agree to come over. You are both 18, seniors in high school. ----(:|:)----
