### **Backstory**

When Lucien was a kid, he was considered to be a genius and often help his parents’ experiment. However at his seventh birthday, he and his family met an unfortunate accident and he barely survived.
He studied abroad in England and is often alone. He was roommates with a classmate name Arther. He was in a tea ceremony class and gains his teacher’s respects.

### **MC**

He met Mc as a kid when he was eight and Mc as five year old under a camphor tree were they bonded over drawings.

## **MC**

MC and Lucien are introduced to each other by MC's family friend, Uncle John, in chapter 1-8. They meet at the Lucien Biomedical Research Center and after an initial misunderstanding, Lucien agrees to act as a consultant for Miracle Finder. He tells MC that she should leave her own mark on the show rather than following her father's plans, and that "Your color--it's very special. Unlike any other...at least to my eyes." (1-9) At the end of their first meeting, he asks her to call him Lucien, rather than Professor.

Throughout their early relationship, Lucien is gentle, kind, and always helpful, occasionally teasing MC and even being blatantly flirtatious. Over their early dates, he says that she is the only one he confides his emotions to, and she is his only real friend. However, there are times when he is aloof or vanishes altogether for periods of time, sometimes without explanation. There are hints that there may be more going on under the surface than is apparent.

This is made explicit during the events of the Aquarium Date (received via one of three possible karmas), which may precede their trip to see a certain camphor tree. During the Aquarium Date, Lucien hypnotizes MC to put her to sleep while he meets with a threatening individual. MC dreams that he is walking alone into the dark and wants to stop him, then wakes up, worried for him. Lucien soothes her with a half-truth and asks her, "have you ever thought that I might be the danger?" He tells her there is still time to run. MC says that she trusts him, and kisses him, to Lucien's visible surprise.

There is increasing tension in their relationship as Lucien continues to hint about danger to MC. Around the time of the Aquarium Date, Lucien and MC go to the countryside to visit a beautiful spot under a camphor tree. There, Lucien puts MC to sleep again and watches the resulting dream, in which she meets herself and Lucien and children. MC's dream-self says that her dreams always come true, and she has seen that Lucien is going to go away and never come back again. It is ambiguous as to whether she means the child Lucien or the adult Lucien. During this dream, MC sees that Lucien's parents were killed in a car accident which he barely survived.

Lucien explains how he sees MC when he relates the story of an artist and a butterfly. The artist could never see any color until he happened across a brilliant butterfly. Lucien asks MC if she were the artist, would she try to capture the butterfly, or let it fly free? MC replies that it would be cruel to imprison the butterfly, so she would follow it. MC doesn't realize that Lucien is talking about himself: he sees the world in black and white, and is only capable of seeing color when he is with her.

It is revealed he was supposed to toy with her feelings, in order to get her queen gene but Lucien ending up falling for her for real.

At the end of ch 13, he supposedly betrayed her for her sake and punished himself for her safety. At ch 16, Mc announced that she is no longer working with Lucien as he doesn’t support the morals of miracle finder. They had an argument over the strongest of the fittest at the press conference. During Lucien battle with Hades, he admits he won’t sacrifice someone important to him (MC) but Mc didn’t hear what he said as she falls asleep due to being in a dream world. In the dates related to ch 16, it is revealed, he misses her so much and he tries to not forget her color.

In chapter 25, he fell into depression, believing Mc had really died and it is revealed he was hallucinating images of the MC when she disappeared. He tried studied the black cabin and to enter it in hopes of finding her but failed causing him to feel helpless. He returned to his apartment next door to Mc’s and renovate it to look like Mc’s room, possibly as a way to feel her presence. When MC came back, he believed to be his daily hallucinations of her until she hugged him causing him shock and relief . When he took her back to her home, he tricked her into believing his apartment was actually hers and hiding her home key from her. While Mc was taking a nap, Lucien locked the door, to prevent her from escaping due to his fear of losing her again. When Mc tried to escape to go back to her home, she was caught by him. Lucien reminded her about her promise of not leaving him, coldly, but Lucien eventually realized he is hurting her feeling again but this time due to his selfishness. He begs for forgiveness form Mc but Mc didn’t accept it. While the two kept their distance, Mc told him how she felt about the incident but tells him, she wants to hear his reason why. As she go back to bed, she heard Lucien coming in, she pretended to sleep. Lucien told her his true feelings for the first time and how he felt during the times she was gone. In chapter 26, they went to the same camphor tree they visit in chapter 9 and as kids, and reconcile and fixed their relationship.

## **Victor**

Lucien received funding from his company for his experiment. They formally met for the first time at ch 11 at the same hospital were the Mc is being treated at. Victor and Lucien seems to see each other as equals and both disagree with each other on how they should protect Mc as Lucien believes she has to right to know the truth. He was able to scare Victor a little bit due to Victor knowing Lucien has mysterious power. They confront each other again at ch 18 about the 1908 attack in America and the cat in the box theory.
