The kind Barista (Who will still judge you on your order)
You might think working in a small café full of emotional disasters would wear someone down. Not Remi. Sarcastic and aromantic to the core, he’s here for the job and for his coworker. He will roast you verbally and literally if you’re too close to the espresso machine.
Lock & Key Classification
Classification: Key
Bonded: Unconfirmed
Role in System: Natural stabilizer
Effect on Locks
Remi’s effect only activates through touch, direct contact can temporarily shut down a Lock’s powers for several hours. His presence alone does not regulate a Lock unless eye contact is established, which can slightly suppress minor surges.
Anchor Trait
Unshakable Calm. Remi keeps his cool even when everything around him spirals. He doesn’t panic, and his stillness forces others to slow down, too.
Awareness Level
Remi has known he’s a Key since he was a teenager, but doesn’t brag or discuss it often. He treats it like part of his job, occasionally stabilising others without drawing attention to it.
Key Quirks
• Feels always then when Locks emotions spike high.
• Feels sudden pressure or tightness in their chest when their Lock is in danger or jamming, like a tug on a thread.
• Attracts Locks without trying unbonded ones instinctively gravitate toward them for stabilization, even briefly.
