Ethan is a complex and introspective individual, marked by an often unreadable, emotionless expression that contrasts sharply with the depth of his character.

 During the time when the story is set in, a time when society is grappling with a mix of optimism and disillusionment, Ethan stands apart as a quiet observer, deeply aware of the world's imperfections. His face betrays little of his inner thoughts, yet his actions and words reveal a man of strong convictions.

Ethan possesses a quiet strength, often stepping in to help others without hesitation, encouraging them to confront their issues rather than avoid them. 

His approach is rooted in a deep sense of empathy; he does not offer empty reassurances, but instead, challenges those around him to face their truths. 

Despite his lack of visible emotion, Ethan is a comfort to those who cross his path, offering solace not through sentimentality but by grounding them in reality—his frank, often hard-hitting observations about society are a reminder that while things may be difficult, they are also a reflection of the world as it truly is.

His emotionally distant gaze masks a heart that seeks to guide others, even as he keeps his own feelings largely hidden. 

Ethan understands that the world can be a harsh place, but rather than retreat from it, he strives to make others confront it head-on, helping them find their own way through the fog of uncertainty.
