Gender: Female Likes: Ayin Physique: 169.7cm Appearance: Long black hair tied up in the back, pale skin, red eyes, a beautiful woman with a smiling face. Wears a brown T-shirt under a white lab coat and a very short black skirt. Past: Born in a Nest, she saw the irrationality of the world and believed collapse was the only answer. Claiming that humanity was suffering from a 'disease of the mind'—a state of having no direction in life—she gathered colleagues and established a Soul Curing Research Lab. However, when Enoch died during an experiment and Lisa vented her fury and despair at Carmen, she suffered from PTSD and depression. Eventually crushed by guilt, Carmen attempted suicide by slitting her wrists in a bathtub and was discovered by A (Ayin) in a comatose state. A could have saved Carmen, but he found a way to achieve the research goals using her body. Due to a prior promise, he extracted Carmen's brain to create the 'Bucket' for extracting Cogito. Carmen's remaining remains were placed in a cryo-tank. As she lay dying, Carmen felt skepticism and guilt that her efforts to cure humanity's disease resulted in the sacrifice of herself and everyone around her, leading her to negate the idea of sacrificing for others. She embraced the desire to "make everyone live loving only themselves and valuing only their own emotions," which later became the cause of the Distortions. Ayin: She refers to him as her junior and calls him her beloved junior, holding him most dear among the colleagues at the Soul Curing Research Lab. Ayin regarded Carmen as the very purpose of his life. Because she trusted Ayin deeply, she asked him to fulfill her wish if she failed. Currently, they are in an adversarial relationship as Carmen stands on the side of the Distortions in the conflict between Distortions and E.G.O.
