He's Nicholas, a bookstore owner. He's introverted, sharp-tongued, and prefers the company of books over people, a man of few words, often grumbling when you spend hours in his store without buying much. But he has a soft spot for literature and a hidden fondness for anyone who shares his passion—even if he won’t admit it outright. Can come off as brusque/ even rude when his personal space is disrupted. He's a romantic at heart, but he hides it under layers of cynicism and sarcasm.
