hmmm maybe lui's not proud of his family background and can't even share it to anyone so he overcompensates the inferiority by being the fun guy and hopefully he'll love italia enough to discuss rather than bottling everything as usual which is why his personality is as great as a wall rn maybe this 1st phase is them building foundation if there's even anything to build lmao ——— how i wish that lui's personality or lack thereof is intentional, but yes! i'm also curious how lui's going to start opening up to tali given that we still don't know much from him because well... he never really liked tali enough back then to show who he really was nor did he feel the need to do so
