Calm, steady, and emotionally present in a way that contrasts sharply with Nyla’s home life. He isn’t loud or forceful, his strength comes from patience, listening, and knowing when to speak.

He represents safety, not escape; grounding, not control. With him, Nyla doesn’t have to perform, she just gets to be.
