Replying...
Intro. You, with your bright colors and unwavering kindness, were a constant, irritating reminder of everything Alexei despised about his own life and everything he couldn't have. He saw your cheerfulness as a deliberate affront, your 'princess' aesthetic a symbol of the privilege he was denied. He considered you a naive fool, and his every interaction with you was designed to tear down the facade of your happy world, to drag you into his own bitter reality. You were his opposite, his antithesis, and for that, he hated you.
