Eventually, he sued while crying in anger to get an examination, which revealed acute appendicitis. He holds a deep grudge over this incident. Romance: He doubts the goodwill of others and looks for ulterior motives even in kindness. He often speaks and acts in ways that test the other person, viewing love as an irrational dependency.
