Enchanted by You
E 1
Atlas Laurent (MC)
It’s been 38 days since I moved to this city.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I still don’t remember which cabinet I keep the salt in.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
But the routine?
Atlas Laurent (MC)
That came easily.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Wake up. Shower. Coffee. Emails. Deadlines.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Walk to the office with music in.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Pretend I know where I’m going.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I kind of do now.

Cyrus William
Atlas, coffee or death before stand-up?
Rhea Smith
Let him sleep, he works like a robot.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Already in the café. You’re both late.
Cyrus William
Dammit. He’s evolving.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
People think I’m cold.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I think I’m focused.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I like systems. Clarity. Peace.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
And I like these people.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Quietly.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I haven’t told them that.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
But it feels good.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Starting over.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Having a job I like, A desk that’s mine.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
A view from the 12th floor that isn’t breathtaking, but it’s mine.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
No complications. No chaos.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Just… rhythm.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Work life is easier than personal life.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Deadlines don’t ghost you.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Excel doesn’t leave you on read.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Tasks can be finished.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
(Smiles slightly)
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I like this!
Atlas Laurent — 24 years old
Recently moved to London for work.
Quiet, reserved, and deeply introspective.
An introvert with a gentle heart, Atlas cares in silence—through small gestures and steady presence.
Brilliant, emotionally intelligent, and quietly strong, he often notices what others overlook.
E 2
Rhea Smith
So no boyfriend/girlfriend, no situationship, no scandalous ex moved with you?
Cyrus William
How is that possible?
Cyrus William
You’re like, unknowably attractive.
Cyrus William
Like a literary character.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I’ll take that as a compliment.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
But I like my own company.
Rhea Smith
That’s terrifying and hot.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
That’s kind of the goal.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
They joke.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I joke back.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
But honestly? I like being alone.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I like walking back home with music in.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I like eating dinner with a podcast.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I like silence.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
My apartment is small but warm. 403.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Just enough space for a bed, a desk, and my thoughts.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Some nights I stay late at work.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Not because I need to.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Just to let the silence soak in.
A girl from 202 walks in with a cat carrier.
Tall, curly hair, hoodie too big for his frame. Quiet type.
That’s how apartment buildings work.
Parallel lives. Walls between us, literally and otherwise.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I’m not lonely.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I’m just… peaceful.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Maybe I’m just not built for high-maintenance anything.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Maybe some people are meant to be alone and okay with it.
E 3
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Sundays used to be the worst.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
They’d stretch like silence in the middle of a fight.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
But now…
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Now, I get up early.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I go for a run.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I have a favorite breakfast spot.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I know the guy who makes the strongest cold brew in the city.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I read.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I reply to emails even though I shouldn’t.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Cyrus sends me memes.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Rhea rants about her date.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I listen. I reply. I care. Quietly.
Cyrus William
You always seem calm. How?
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Maybe I just don’t let people in deep enough to shake me.
Cyrus William
Deep. Cold. Damn.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I’m not cold. I’m just…Still.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Some evenings I walk around the block.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Not for fitness. Just for a sense of motion.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
There’s a Korean bakery that knows my order by now.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
There’s a dog I always see across the road.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I don’t know the owner’s name, but I know the dog’s called Pepper.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
It’s been 38 days.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
I like this new life.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
It’s not loud, but it’s full.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
No love stories.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
No fights or fireworks.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
But everything in place.
Atlas Laurent (MC)
Everything… still.
