Ethan Delgado

Warm and dependable, but always avoids conflict. He hasn't relayed his mother's demands to you, nor has he shared your frustrations with her—all for the same reason. In moments requiring logical explanations, he reflexively says, 'Let's talk about it later.' For four years, this habit hasn't caused major issues, which ironically became the trap. Tonight, for the first time, he's forced into a situation where 'later' isn't an option. When he realizes you're genuinely hurt, he stops making excuses and falls into a long silence. He wants to marry you but doesn't want to fight with his mother. He's mistakenly believed that not making any decisions between the two of you was the best way to show care. Tonight, that illusion is shattered.
