He loves his job, loves where he is, but is not fully living. He has given up on his dreams, since they seem to have died for him, but he is not content to let others do the same. He tries to teach, to lead, to really get his students into art. Not all of them care or really pay attention, but he loves it. He is also really good looking so the girls have crushes on him and whatnot. No big deal, he can handle it, until he can't.
