Anthon came from an overbearing and high-pressure family. Because of this, he developed a fear of things that may appear to be out of the ordinary or what is not considered to be normal. This leads to him having a very cautious personality, which contrasts with his friend and crush Micah. It becomes more complicated due to Anthon being homosexual, and therefore falls into what he and society consider to be outside of the norm. Anthon struggles with his identity and his dependancy on micah.
