THEIR TEARS ARE FILLING UP THEIR GLASSES

no expression, no expression

inside their life and mind;;
;; he never knew his father. he only found out that the man was a rich german prince named alexander when he met his brother nikolai as few years back.
;; he was taken in and raised by father brian, the priest of a small church in ireland. he whole-heartedly studied religion under his experienced tutor and became strong at a young age from helping the father by doing most of the physical work required to keep them alive and to keep the old church in good condition.
;; he earned enough money to pay for private tutors from a nearby university. he earned the money by helping farmers, the local carpenter, and the locals with any laborious work they needed a hanf on. many of the elderly seemed to look at him as jesus-like and so they also helped him by donating money.
;; he excelled at learning and was invited to attend public school as a teacher's assistant.
;; he got a scholarship to attend a big government run college but gave it all to father brian to repair the church. the two put the rest in savings.
;; father brian was his father figure, and was a man who radiated generosity and compassion. the two were rarely seen without each other.
;; raphael learned to play the organ so that he could contribute to father brian's sermons.
;; father brian dreamed that raphael would have an interest in taking his place one day. while raphael had no interest in women at the time, he did not want to follow in the priest's footsteps.
;; he joined a local theatre troup and got in off of natural talent. no one who first saw him come to audition though the was going to be worth it, but with the father's permission, he payed his entry with some of their savings and proved that he was the best actor in town.
;; he might have been an instant success had he been willing to travel. but with the father's failing health, he refused anything other than small, in-town productions.
;; eventually the government completely shut down all stage production, because it was too hard to regulate. it was at this time that raphael began to lose faith that he had a purpose in life, and day to day existance began to get harder.
;; father brian worried about the radiant young man who was now in his twenties. he was afraid that perhaps he had pushed the boy too much to study and that now raphael wouldn't discovery his true calling in life.
;; it was at this time that nikolai found him, and with a sad fairwell to the father, he made the decision to go and live with his half-brother and his dear friend at the prince's estate-turned-private academy.
;; he was very useful during the construction stages and designed the entire theatre himself. he finally realized that his calling was to be a theatre professor.
;; love is something that eludes him, but is fortunately not something he thinks about often. he prefers time alone with nature or else gragariously chatting people up at parties and shining in theatrical productions.
;; he eagerly anticipates the rest of his destiny and looks forward to being a professor, hoping he can touch someone's life like the local professors influenced his.
