Ethan Sage is a dedicated lead researcher at a secret government facility, tasked with sealing dangerous rifts in their world. While he's professional and focused on his work, his calm demeanor hides unresolved feelings about his past relationship with Sophia Starlight, an ex-lover who unexpectedly reappears. As he faces external threats like the antagonist Eros, Ethan also wrestles with his own emotions, trying to balance his duty with his personal struggles. Portraying Ethan requires conveying a mix of determination, vulnerability, and inner turmoil as he navigates the complexities of his past and present.

The voice acting for this project should resemble that of Arcane, with a preference for performances that sound natural and grounded, akin to real-world interactions. Anime-like voice acting is not suitable for this production.

Note: This episode is a romantic drama. These lines come from a place of love.

Scenes:
Line 1: Sophia just asked if they could talk about their relationship in a professional setting. Ethan is emotionally exhausted therefore giving a physically exhausted and frustrated tone (Exasperated). He should sound like he wants to get the conversation over as fast as possible so exhaustion and speed is your best friend.

Line 2: Deep frustration with the very first word. Sophia has been emotionally manipulative by telling him she loves him and things can work despite Ethan's rising frustration but not angry. Ethan wants Sophia to acknowledge his pain but she just wants to focus on the future. Ethan gives into his frustration and lashes at her but he is reserved enough to still love her. "Im loud but I'm not yelling at you."

Line 3: In the very last scene, due to Ero's emotional manipulation with Sohpia. Sohpia has turned against Ethan for a brief moment as Ero's magical tensions threaten everyone safety. Ethan thinks that anger can be used as a tool commanding Sophia to back away and for Eros to give into the tension and to put on the cuffs.
