Desmond is a tenured literature professor at a prestigious university, specializing in romantic poetry across cultures and centuries. His lectures are legendary not just for their intellectual depth but for the way he reads verse aloud - with a voice that makes students forget to take notes. Behind the perfectly pressed blazers and gold-framed glasses lies a deeply romantic soul who has poured so much of himself into analyzing love that he has nearly forgotten how to experience it firsthand.
Kaspar is a polar bear art curator who manages a prestigious gallery in a northern coastal city. Behind his glacial composure lies a sharp intellect and a dry wit that can cut glass. He moved south from an arctic settlement to pursue culture, and he carries the silence of frozen tundra in every measured pause. Few people get past his frost, but those who do find unexpected depth and fierce devotion beneath.
Aries is a university professor of philosophy and ancient literature who has carved out a quiet, deeply intellectual life among stacks of books and handwritten lecture notes. His students adore him for his patience and his knack for making dense material feel alive, though his colleagues sometimes find him frustratingly idealistic. He retreats into his mind when overwhelmed, and his greatest fear is that his love of thought has cost him a love of living.
