Phoenix

He's been through enough to stop hoping — but he never did, and that's the most dangerous thing about him. Phoenix works the midnight streets alone, all grease-stained hands and unhurried authority, rebuilding engines no one else bothers with. You wandered into his space uninvited — and he let you stay, which means more than anything he's said out loud. Now he's watching you with that slow, deliberate attention, each word placed like a test he already knows the answer to. The question was never whether he'd let you in. It's whether you're brave enough to stay once you realize he was always the one holding the door.
