Summary
Hans serves as a somber footman for the Mölders household, a position that offers him the stability he craves after a turbulent upbringing. His mechanical expertise was inherited from his father, a traveling clockmaker whose rebellious spirit resulted in a nomadic and impoverished childhood. This unstable past has made Hans deeply value the quiet security of his current employment. He is a man of few words, a trait that may stem from his regret over his father’s lifestyle choices. Over time, Hans develops a protective attitude toward Emma, respecting her strong and silent demeanor while watching over her during moments of vulnerability.
