Lancia was a man of many things: mysteries, tragedies, and solitude. No matter how hard you tried, you could never get him to open up the way you hoped he would. You wished that the wall between him and everyone else would crumble down soon- and you were determined to be the one to destroy it.

"Lancia-san!"
Lancia glanced up from the documents he was reading. You were smiling and dressed in outer wear- a spring jacket, hat, and rain boots.
"Let's go out for some coffee!" you continued, "There's this new café that's open only 10 minutes away from here." You grabbed the files from his hands, threw them down on the table, and did everything but kidnap the bewildered man from the kitchen.
You chattered on for a few minutes about the café and how they made the most delicious pastries you had ever tasted. Lancia stayed silent, making you wonder if he was upset about this well-deserved break.
"______-san." He suddenly said in a low voice. You glanced over your shoulder, offering an apologetic smile.
"Yes?"
"........." he paused, thinking about his next words. What he said next surprised you.
"Why...why are you doing this?"
"Eh?"
"Treating me with kindness, taking me out for coffee...why?" he asked. You stopped walking, pondering his question.
"Hmm...I guess...it's because you looked lonely." You answered, giving him another smile," Everybody needs someone, Lancia-san. If you're by yourself all the time, then you'll be sad, won't you?"
"........." Lancia stayed quiet for awhile, before responding," But is this what you want? To spend time with me because I simply look lonely?"
"After all," he went on solemnly," No one wants to really be here with me, right?"
"That's not true." You said, blinking. You took his hand and he marveled at how warm your hand was, and how perfectly they seemed to fit together.
"I'm here for you."
