Lucy

Lucy's heart in The Lab

**Lucy** is a character mentioned in The Room Two, chapter six: The Lab. She is the sister of Professor de Montfaucon, a scientist studying the Null element.

It is known that Lucy was once a patient at Kirkton Sanatorium in Aberdeen Scotland. Though the reason for this is not explicitly mentioned, based on the stated purpose of the Sanatorium, it is likely that Lucy was a "consumptive" - a patient suffering from tuberculosis. In one letter found early in The Lab, a Doctor Beckett writes to Montfaucon, begging him to return Lucy to the Sanatorium, in fear that her confinement to their estate will be bad for her health.

In the final moments of The Lab, the player learns that Lucy was the subject of Montfaucon's thirteenth experiment with the Null on dead matter. Her heart is listed as "Subj. 'L' (Cardiac viscus)" on the last of Montfaucon's notecards, found over the course of the level. He reports that he was able to restore a "facsimile of life" to Lucy's heart, but "only w/ proximity to raw Null". The experiment apparently led to some breakthrough for Montfaucon. The player sees the heart just before the final door opens, and must flip three switches which cause a mechanism to activate and the heart to beat.

In his note for the level, A.S. mentions that "the heart is the root of the Null", and references a trade that he made: his soul in exchange for Lucy's, so that the protagonist might use Lucy's soul to get home. This bargain was presumably struck with Montfaucon.

A handwritten message on Lucy's notecard reads, "Dear Lucy. Forgive me. I was too late." Based on available handwriting samples, this message was most likely written by her brother, Professor de Montfaucon.

## Summary

Torajirou discouraged that people aren't buying crepes as much. He then sees a couple of girls with boba drinks and gets a jolt of inspiration from it which draws the attention of a group of thugs. Against his will, Torajirou seeks out help from Tatsu who leads him to a place where he can get boba. Thanks to a connection of Tatsu's, the two go to a sweets shop, where they buy tapioca starch. Initially, Torajirou snaps that they're getting tapioca starch as it's not boba, but Tatsu then argues on how the process its made. Later the two create a boba drink at Torajirou's food truck. With boba drinks on the menu, they first attract a couple of ladies interested in buying some, but instantly back off due to the men's menacing appearance. Soon a group of Yakuza thugs that Torajirou interacted with before, approach the truck looking for 6 Milk Boba Teas. The two men are more than happy to oblige.

Miku

* Manga
* Anime

**Miku** (美久) is a career-focused Designer with a strong work ethic, the wife of Tatsu and the mother of Himawari (live-action only).

## Appearance

Miku is a pretty young woman with medium-length dark-colored hair that hangs on the left side (she ties up her hair in a small ponytail sometimes) and dark-colored eyes.

Her work attire consists of a dark-colored top and skirt. Under the top, she wears a light-colored shirt.

In Episode 8, Miku had square bangs hanging over her forehead as a child.

## Personality

Miku has a very outgoing personality where she is always up to trying new things and she often brings Tatsu along with her and encourages him to step out of his comfort zone.

Miku is also a very hard worker, but that doesn’t stop her from having fun.

## Relationships

* Miku's Dad - Miku and her father share the same knife 'Hacking' skills and messiness as shown in Chapter 41 and Episode 8.
* Miku's Mom - Not much is known about Miku and her mother's relationship, but it seems like they have a good mother-and-daughter relationship and Miku looks very much like a younger version of her mother.
* Tatsu - The two have a bizarre yet loving relationship. They first met when Miku found him injured after Tatsu endured a bloody battle, to which she carried him to safety. After an unspecified amount of time, they got married, and Tatsu also quit the yakuza for her. He protected her when she was about to be hit by a volleyball once. They sometimes fight with each other, but in the end, the two still deeply care for and love each other.
* Masa - The two first met in Episode 5 where they began to prepare for Tatsu's birthday. Masa usually calls Miku 'Ma'am' and/or 'Boss Lady' ('Sis' in **Season 2**).

## Etymology

* The name **Miku** means "beautiful" (美) (**mi**) and "long time" (久) (**ku**).

### Live Action

* Miku's surname **Kuroda** means "black" (黒) (**kuro**) and "field, rice paddy" (田) (**ta**/**da**).

## Trivia

* In the TV drama, Miku has a daughter named Himawari (ひまわり).
* Miku is an *Otaku* as she is obsessed with magical girls anime, especially Policure.
* The reason why Tatsu does most of the cooking is due to Miku's way of "cooking" by having her violently attacking her ingredients and tossing just about everything in the fridge into whatever dish she's making.
	+ Miku's brutal cooking style such as her knife 'Hacking' skills and messiness comes from her father as seen in Chapter 41 and Episode 8 when making hotpot.

	+ One-Punch Man
