A student of Lal, was the only thing he was seen as. Nothing more, nothing less. Even thought, Lal taught him a lot of combat techniques and how to properly use firearms. How to survive in an environment that was harsh and how to recognize different types of chemical things to create a bomb. It didn't hide the fact that he also knew things she was unfamiliar with.


Le fou


Translated as "The fool", if he were to mention that to Lal, she probably wouldn't think of it too much. She would give a vague answer which was just repeating the meaning of it or just mentioning the card game.

It was quite amusing, because even a civilian who had enough knowledge would be able to tell what are "the fools".

Colonello never really liked "the fools", in fact he was wary of them.


Reasons why?


Those who were fools didn't know the definition of death, they lived ignorant of that. Even if they were scared of having a gun placed on their heads, they would still repeatedly do the same thing over and over again. As if they were expecting a different result the next time.

Insanity

Those people could also be described as insane.

This is why when he first met Skull, another member of this curse. He was shocked at how stupid he sounded, but after staying with him for some times, he noticed that this person was part of this "fools" category.

But he knew, that there was two types of fools, and the second one was an "actor".

An actor was someone who discarded their real persona into creating new ones. Tricking people into believe something that was fake. They were surnamed "fools" because they could drown in their own talent, which is deemed as foolish and insane, part of why it's in the "fools" category. He didn't exactly know which one was Skull, but he gave off a Luce-like feeling but not quite the same. It was as if they both had one exact same thing in common but at the same time not.

Part of the reason why he wouldn't try to underestimate this person "Skull", because what was most terrifying was that those fools, they could trick people's mind. It didn't sound that scary but it actually was.

They could pretend to be your friend and be very good at it. They could pretend to be everything without you having to be suspicious about anything. If they were someone close to you, you could tell them all of your problems, secrets and it was like showing them your vulnerable state. Without knowing, you would trust them while on the other hand they didn't even care and wouldn't even bat an eye if you were in danger.

Aside from that, he didn't exactly wanted to meet up with this person again, unfortunately fate didn't seem to spare him any luck.


























After that encounter with Lal and Colonello, Skull always missed the calls of the meetings. He never went to them, because he didn't see the benefit of trying to resolve everything in one go.

Everyone, was quite impatient about their new appearance, even thought it has been a long time since they have been regressed to a baby state. Due to getting sucked up into researching informations, Luce seemed to be whipped out of their minds.

Skull laughed at those thoughts dryly, they were quite a spoiled and selfish bunch in his point of view but he wasn't them so he couldn't understand their feelings. Shaking his head, he once again payed attention to what he was doing.
