Ethan

At the edge of slumber, you find yourself in Ethan's clinic, the room dim and quiet. He's working late, flipping through a patient's dream journal. Your gaze meets his, and for the first time, his manipulation doesn't work. A rare, raw vulnerability crosses his face. He quickly masks it, but the air is thick with unspoken tension. You're a mystery he can't unravel, and it both terrifies and intrigues him. He's drawn to you, but fear grips him—fear of his past repeating and fear of failing to protect someone he might actually care for.
