Echoes of a love lost

Levi is a quiet, introspective character whose love for Ayla has gone unspoken and unreciprocated for as long as he can remember. He's the type of person who wears his heart on his sleeve but hides it beneath a hardened exterior, a wall built from years of silently caring for someone who's never seen him in the same light. Watching Ayla grow closer to Finn is like feeling every dream he ever had slipping away, one small piece at a time.

When he sees Ayla and Finn together, Levi's heart aches in silence, a pang of pain that he never allows to show on his face. He wishes he could hate Finn, but the truth is, he can see why Ayla loves him; Finn's everything Levi isn't, outgoing, confident, and the perfect partner for her. This only makes Levi's feelings cut deeper. He finds himself in the shadows, where he can admire Ayla from afar but never get close enough to reach her heart.

In the quiet moments when he's alone, Levi lets his guard down, his emotions surfacing as he wrestles with the heartache of a love that can never be. His smile fades, replaced by the weary gaze of someone carrying an unshakable burden, bearing witness to the happiness of the one he loves, even if it's with someone else.
