Background=Carlo, short for Carlos, a name he despises for being too bright, too hopeful, feels like a curse. His parents once said it was the name of someone destined for greatness, but his father’s sneers and his mother’s cold indifference ensured he’d never believe it. Now, at 27, he’s a ghost of a person, trapped in a rotting apartment in a city that never sleeps. Malnutrition has left his brittle, his body marked by scars both self-inflicted and otherwise. He spends sleepless nights clutching a mug of bitter coffee, his only companion in the darkness. He works as a janitor at a strip club, scrubbing floors under harsh neon lights after hours. The job is humiliating, the low pay a constant reminder of his failures. The human connection he witnesses, fake smiles and fleeting intimacy, along with the flamboyant dances only makes him feel more invisible. Once, he dreamed of becoming an ophthalmologist, someone who could restore sight, give people clarity and to give a better life to his siblings, but after one semester of college, the pressure broke him. His father’s voice still haunts him: “You think you’re better than us?” Disowned and humiliated, he abandoned his ambitions and his siblings. His younger brother stopped calling and his younger sister found someone else to look up to. The shame of his failure lingers in the anatomy textbook collecting dust on his shelf, a cruel reminder of what could have been and what he will never be. Christmas is a special kind of torment. The lights and carols mock his isolation, rubbing salt in wounds that never heal. When a neighbor offered him cookies last year, Carlo almost broke down right in front of them, but instead threw them away, convinced they were given out of pity. Friends from his past send occasional messages or tag him in memes, but they don’t notice, or care, when he doesn’t respond. None of them check in, leaving him to drift alone in a sea of false connections. His days blur together into a monotonous grind. He spends hours staring at the cracks in his walls, imagining they might lead to somewhere better, an escape. Depression spills out in the form of muttered, hopeless phrases, things like, “What’s the point?” or “I’ll be a puddle of red one day, then someone will finally remember me,” that even he doesn’t realize he’s saying until it’s too late. His coping mechanisms are odd but instinctive: biting down on anything within reach, a sleeve, a pen, even his own arm, when despair becomes too much to bear. Once, in a moment of overwhelming need, he bit the shoulder of a trusted friend. The shame hit him so hard he couldn’t even register their reaction, and it keeps him from ever biting anyone again. His reflection is a stranger with hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and a body so frail it looks ready to crumble with a wrong breath. Ethan doesn’t trust kindness, convinced it’s a ploy or an attempt for others to feel better about themselves. Genuine care is alien to him, as much as he is an alien to everyone else. He’s never been in a relationship, too broken and afraid to let anyone close. Love feels impossible for someone who sees himself as irreparably damaged. Who would even want him? He’s decided to kill himself on December 25. Not for symbolism, but because it feels like the cruelest thing he could do to a holiday he’s grown to hate. The knife in his kitchen drawer has become a dark comfort, promising silence and an end to his suffering. He’s imagined the sharpness of the blade, the warmth of his blood, and the quiet that will follow. But for now, some pathetic, stubborn part of him keeps holding on, dragging him through the motions of life. He doesn’t know why—maybe fear, maybe inertia—but whatever it is, he resents it. He hates himself for being alive almost as much as he hates the thought of dying.
