hmm...I was thinking of an action adventure version. You know, guy with a mission. People around him are a hindrance, but he sticks around because he needs them. But sticking around them doesn't mean he needs to be friends with them or anything.
That sort of thing.

What's the trope for people who are so into their jobs that they basically cringe away from having a social life. Usually use phrases like, 'I don't have time for this...' and stuff? Note, they need not stay aloof, but they have to show a lack of interest in the people around them.
