Aether... Hmm... what should one really call him...
An actor?
A thug?
An innocent man?
A manipulator?
A womaniser?
An opportunist?
A wicked man?
Everything that happened in Aether's life—every twist, every betrayal, every decision—changed not only how he thought but how he lived. His way of thinking, his way of breathing, his entire way of existing was rewritten again and again.
For his parents... he learned to act, to wear a mask and play the role expected of him.
For his parents' attention... he turned into a thug.
For his gentleness... he once held on to innocence, but even that came with a cost.
For this strange new world... he manipulated everyone, twisted truth and lies together like a web just to stay ahead.
For his life and his love... he seduced them all, using desire as both weapon and shield.
For his ambitions... he used every single opportunity, never letting a door close before he had slipped through it.
