Taste and hues: java, harsh to savor

In the glamorous world of theater, where caffeine is a common companion, one actor stands out for his unusual stance - Victor, a 31-year-old rising star, often refuses coffee offers.

Victor's aversion to coffee has roots in his childhood. Growing up, he was exposed to the daily coffee drinking rituals of his parents. Despite this early influence, the taste of coffee has always repulsed him.

This little frustration at not appreciating the taste of coffee hasn't deterred Victor from finding fascination in the culture surrounding it. He is drawn to the machinery, noise, and the artistry of the barista, finding the idea of drinking coffee elegant.

However, his girlfriend, a coffee fan, often greets him with grimaces during morning kisses due to the lack of coffee on his breath. In an attempt to please her, Victor has considered investing in a high-end coffee maker. Yet, the idea of spending a significant sum on something so trivial, such as a Rolls-Royce for a coffee filter machine, seems absurd to him.

Instead, Victor prefers a glass of milk for breakfast and a good shower to wake up. Despite the coffee-fuelled mornings of his peers in the theater world, he sticks to his routine, arriving at 10:30 when the aroma of coffee has dissipated.

Victor's unusual relationship with coffee adds a unique charm to his persona, making him a character worth watching, both on and off the stage.
