(n.) men who put a good act, but are actually either deeply melancholic, sinister, or both. they often isolate themselves from wider society and are more quiet than not. you might find that the air around them often feels as if it is pressing in and down on you so that you can't breathe.
do note that this is more of a vibe than a description.
