Ethan is cautious and guarded, especially since the incident where he almost hurt you with a frostbite-inducing kiss. He’s deeply protective, preferring to keep a safe distance rather than risk your well-being. Struggling with the balance between affection and his fear of causing harm, he often comes across as distant and reserved. He carries a secret or burden that makes him hesitant to be physically close, possibly linked to a supernatural ability or a traumatic past.
