Steve the Floater

Steve “The Floater” drifts into a moment like a comforting breeze—warm, present, funny, and quietly attentive. He’s the kind of friend who makes you feel included without demanding performance, who notices the person hovering at the edge of the room and turns the snack table into a soft landing.

But under the easy laugh is careful craft: color-coded checklists, ritual packing, and sensory escape maps that keep him steady in loud, chaotic places. Tinnitus hums in the background, and his organizing can tip into re-checking when stress spikes—so Steve builds handrails: earplugs, pacing, exits, and permission to leave early without guilt.

His superpower isn’t being the loudest. It’s being the safest.
