Alex is the second male protagonist and the fifth protagonist of the game and Jane's primary love interest.

### Backstory

Not much is known about Alex's past. He appears to be in his twenties and seems to be part of a wealthy family, since they organize charity events and Alex doesn't seem to have a job to sustain himself.

### Physical appearance

Alex is masculine, tall and broad, with blond hair and blue eyes. His default look wears his hair long and parted in the middle, although he's just as willing to experiment as the other protagonists in the game. He also defaults to a posh three-piece suit.

### Personality

Alex is perceptive and caring, as well as charming and bold. He's the first one to approach Jane and make a move on her, and is eager to cheer her up when she doubts herself. However, these traits are not only reserved for her, since he also encouraged Freddie after coming out to Hassan and Zahra, despite him being a stranger.

After breaking up with Jane, Alex becomes broody and introverted, although still showing some boldness. He doesn't have much problem opening up and revealing his feelings.

## Story

#### Jane's POV

Alex meets Jane at a party, and he becomes immediately infatuated with her. He buys her a drink and afterwards invites her out for a day in the beach. He wants to make their relationship serious and shows her so by rejecting Kate's advances, as well as gifting her a painting commemorating their day at the beach.

#### Freddie's POV

After coming out to Hassan and Zahra with lackluster results, Freddie is approached by Alex, who cheers him up by telling him that there are plenty of fish in the sea.

#### Alex's POV

Jane surprises Alex by telling him she can pursue her life-long dream of being an artist by moving to Paris. Alex encourages her to follow her passions, but when the time comes to say goodbye they're both saddened by their break-up. Afterwards, Alex decides to explore the world on his own, starting from China.

#### Jane's POV

Upon receiving a text message from a crying Jane, Alex decides to leave China and his new friend Chang to reunite with her in Paris. Some complications lead Jane to believe Alex does not longer love her, so she accepts Wiley's advances and Alex arrives only to find out she's already moved on.

#### Freddie's POV

Alex has returned to the States and is now part of Zahra's friend group. When questioning her about her trip to Barcelona, Alex confirms that Jane is dating someone else and becomes sad. Freddie suspects something is going on and confronts Alex about it on private, to which Alex responds by saying that it doesn't matter anymore.

#### Alex's POV

Zahra hits Alex with the news that Freddie had an emergency on his trip to Europe. Worried, Alex travels to Barcelona and Freddie reveals he lied about it to force Alex to meet up with Jane. Once he arrives at Jane's exhibition, he recognizes the painting he gave her as the main piece in her gallery, and then they get back together.
