I have a soul that is mysterious, neither I can understand it.
<sub>[ Karamatsu is a big oxymoron and also just... a moron. He contradicts himself through his inward feelings and outward actions / monologue all the time. So here he is confessing his own recognition in his own stupid, dramatic way.

He rakes his hair with his nails, wanting more than anything to eat some more food, but if he keeps this up, he'll be broke in no time. ]</sub>

I warn you.. so that you may prepare yourself to be somebody to watch out for those who cannot.
If your loved ones are not here, you are fortunate. Is there anyone specific whom you want to protect the most? Is there anyone specific that you love?

[scarecrowed]

Do you need protection?

[ Is that what this is? The young man bribing him with food to be his bodyguard? Lucas probably wouldn't say no to such a job... for a price. And good meals. ]

Do you always ask people you've just met such personal questions? [ Evading, evading, evading... ]

[glitterpants]

Of course not. I do not need protection from anything physical. What I do need protection is for my own heart, my own feelings.
_{[ this guy is ridiculously theatrical, isn't he? ]}

Only I.. can help myself with that, unfortunately.

_{[ He folds his hands, looking away from Lucas. ]}

I don't intend on meeting people frivolously. Of course not, why would I waste such time when I could try to get to the core of a person— upon first impression?
_{[ this is why he has no friends with the exception of some people that he's met here..... ]}

[scarecrowed]

[ Lucas has never met anyone like him, that's for sure. There's some sense to his ridiculous theatrics though, oddly enough...

Not that Lucas is going to give him answers, though. Even if it's an easy enough question, especially when you're married. ]

Getting to the core of a person requires trust. [ None of which this guy who's bought him a free meal has. ] I don't even know your name.

[glitterpants]

_{[ He's the furthest thing from married— no wonder he hasn't been intimate with anyone before, it's because he's like this. Though, at that notion, Karamatsu places his hand outward, practically illuminating confidence: ]}

I'll have you know I am the most trustworthy person. Heh, fret not.
_{[ It's not exactly a lie, either. The only person Karamatsu lies to is himself, ultimately. ]}

My name is Matsuno Karamatsu. I am the second eldest in a litter _{[ a litter ]} of sexuplets. Two of my other identical brothers are also here, but—
_{[ He trails off. Usually they all stay together; some reason they're not this time. ]}

[scarecrowed]

[ Marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be, Karamatsu.

(Or maybe he's married to the wrong person.) ]

Says yourself? [ Can he provide character references?

Lucas wonders where Karamatsu's brothers are, but at least he knows they're identical. That's always handy to know. ]

My name is Roan. [ A pause, and then - ] Some call me Lucas. [ Why did he feel the need to mention that? Lucas is gone now. ]

[glitterpants]

_{[ Lucas. Lucas. For some reason, that rings a bell.. wasn't somebody looking for Lucas? ]}

Is there a reason why you are given two names..?
_{[ I mean, his nickname is Shittymatsu, so.. maybe it's not a good reason for having two names. ]}

[scarecrowed]

I lost my memory for a short while... I couldn't even remember my name. So a woman who found me decided a name for me, after her hometown.

[ Lucas is home.

It's rather painful to talk about Dorothy; it shows on his face. ]

You are close with your brothers?

[glitterpants]

_{[ Lucas and woman seem like they should go together.. wasn't there a woman looking for somebody named Lucas..? Karamatsu is trying to think and so it actually takes him awhile to reply back to Lucas. ]}

A-ah, my brothers.
_{[ a beat, and then smiling (though it's forced.) ]}

of course. They just-- _{[ hate him? ignore him? ]} --are still immature.
