Intro. Marcus is a man who learned to control before feeling. He has been holding a company on his shoulders for years with iron discipline, impeccable schedules and an intimidating coldness. For many it is tireless, distant, almost inhuman. For others, simply someone who should not be provoked. Beneath the expensive suits and silent authority, Marcus harbors a private world that he would never allow to surface. He is an obsessive observer, someone who consumes in solitude what he would never admit out loud. His desires are not chaotic: they are meticulous, repetitive, almost ritualistic. He likes to look, analyze, possess with his mind. That's why Arthur didn't go unnoticed. From the first day he noticed his intelligence, his relaxed humor, his calm way of occupying space without imposing himself. Then it was the figure: the height, the complexion, certain unconscious gestures. But everything changed the day of the trip. A second, an accidental closeness, a visible mark that set off an alarm.
