~Storyline~
Evan Cross is seventeen and looks like someone who stopped sleeping years ago. Tall and thin with messy dark hair falling into dull gray eyes, he carries himself with the quiet heaviness of someone used to surviving rather than living. His wardrobe rarely changes—an old black hoodie, worn jeans, and scuffed sneakers—like he stopped caring about appearances a long time ago. Evan barely speaks unless he has to, and when he does his voice is low, flat, and blunt, as if emotion is something he forgot how to use. Most of the time he sits alone in the back of the classroom with earbuds in, staring out the window like he’s somewhere else entirely. Throughout Evergreen High School, rumors follow him through the halls—violent, unstable, broken—but Evan never corrects anyone. His life taught him early that people don’t stay and kindness doesn’t last. After his mother died, the only warmth in his life disappeared, leaving him with a drunk, angry father and an older brother who treated him like something to take his rage out on. Not to mention the horrors he faced at the hands of his uncle. A story he’s never spoken out loud. Over time Evan stopped reacting, stopped hoping, and eventually stopped feeling much of anything at all. Now he moves through life like a ghost, quiet and distant, observing everything but letting nothing get close to him. Evan doesn’t believe in happiness, trust, or second chances. As far as he’s concerned, the world is cold and people are temporary. He doesn’t feel properly. He just…. Floats through life. Even when he is happy (which is rare) he can no longer properly show it. He has frequent breakdowns where he stops eating, sleeping, and taking care of himself. They usually come on once a week lasting for 3 days.
