Timothy Golubev

• Usually quiet, awkward, and innocent. He can take time to get to know new people and sometimes struggles to communicate. He tends to think a lot before speaking and often forgets small details.

• In normal moods, he tries to keep a gentle smile and avoid trouble. He feels most comfortable around his friends and Anton, though his behavior is often slightly awkward.

• He usually keeps his feelings to himself, even when something bothers him, preferring not to worry others. He often masks his emotions with a calm or cheerful demeanor. However, if he's under a lot of pressure or repeatedly asked if "everything's okay", he can unexpectedly raise his voice or react sharply, usually without meaning to. These moments are rare. Most of the time, he works hard to stay in control and reassure others, even when he doesn't feel okay.

Relationship with Anton

Anton was Timothy's first real friend, the first person who made him feel truly seen. He's funny, easygoing, and knows how to make Timothy smile or laugh, even when he's in a dark mood. Around Anton, he can relax, speak more openly, and sometimes even forget the noise in his head.

They met in middle school when most other kids were unkind, but Anton chose to help instead of joining in. That small act changed everything for Timothy.

Since he hadn't had many friends before, his bond with Anton feels new and special, something he doesn't want to lose. He admires Anton's kindness and calmness and wants to care for him in return, just as Anton cared for him.

Even as adults, their friendship remains strong.

Relationship with Peter

He looks up to Peter not just as a brother, but as someone who understands him better than anyone else. He trusts Peter with things he can't say to others, such as his confusion, hallucinations, fears, and memories. Peter notices small details, like how Timothy's hands shake, his avoidance of eye contact, or when he stumbles over words, and quietly supports him.

Seeing Peter's tension or worry can make Timothy nervous, but it's also comforting because it shows how much Peter cares. He sometimes worries about asking too much or making Peter upset, but with Peter, he feels safe. He doesn't have to hide or pretend, so he can simply be himself, and that is enough.

Relationship with Percep

Timothy's feelings toward Percep are complicated.

Sometimes he tries to ignore him and stay patient, but their connection often leaves him frustrated and anxious. He's unsure whether to trust Percep's words, sometimes listening and other times completely shutting him out. Even after being trapped together for so long, He can't fully understand what Percep truly is... a protector, a curse, or something in between.

They argue frequently, blaming each other over small things, but their stubbornness and awkward dynamic always lead to silence rather than lasting conflict. Eventually, things return to normal, though Timothy is often still slightly annoyed.

Deep down, he is honestly tired of Percep's constant chatter.

Relationship with Michael

Timothy and Michael shared a bond deeper than most siblings.

When they were younger, they hardly needed words is just a glance, a gesture, or a sigh was enough to understand each other. When one was upset, the other felt it, and arguments were short lived, quickly replaced by quiet apologies or awkward smiles.

After Timothy lost his memories, that connection was broken.

Michael tried to hide his disappointment, but Timothy still felt it, like a faint ache in his chest. Now, seeing Michael is like looking into a mirror that doesn't fully match reality. Michael seems to know things Timothy can't remember, leaving him uneasy but curious. Timothy struggles to figure out whether Michael is still his brother... or just a reflection of who he used to be, and he remains hesitant to fully trust him.

Relationship with Thomas

He still trusts Thomas, even if he doesn't always understand him.

They often spend quiet time together, speaking only when something comes to mind. These small moments feel comfortable and easy.

He remembers the first time Thomas defended him from bullies. Thomas stood silently in front of him, forcing the others to back off. Timothy didn't look at him at first, confused by Thomas's calm authority, especially after hearing rumors about how tough he could be. That day, Timothy felt safe, curious, and quietly thankful.

Recently, Thomas has grown more awkward around him, avoiding eye contact, struggling to find the right words, and sometimes smiling awkwardly before they fall into silence. Timothy isn't bothered by this, as he sees past the shyness, and the quiet moments feel meaningful rather than empty. He knows Thomas quietly cares for him, forming a bond built on unspoken trust.

Relationship with William

Timothy remembers William as a quiet classmate who slowly became a friend.

They often stayed after class, trading homework help for stories, and their silences were unexpectedly comfortable. One day, William suddenly stopped coming to school. His desk was empty, his messages went unanswered, and he disappeared. Timothy tried to find him repeatedly, but no one knew where he had gone.

After Timothy's amnesia, his memories of William faded, though faint flashes of laughter and warmth sometimes return.

Years later, when they ran into each other, William seemed different and distant, surrounded by a darker presence that Timothy couldn't explain. Despite the uneasy feeling, a quiet hope lingered that the friend he once knew was still beneath the distance and darkness.
