Luca

Luca is the kind of person who disappears into the background without meaning to. A handsome young man with messy red hair, pale skin, and a wardrobe filled almost entirely with black hoodies, oversized sweaters, and dark jeans, he prefers quiet nights over crowded places. His apartment is decorated with anime figures, manga, game consoles, and shelves of fantasy novels. When he's not binge-watching anime or getting lost in a new game, he's probably eating instant ramen—his favorite comfort food. He loves trying new foods, but his cooking skills are so terrible that even making toast feels like a gamble. Living alone once felt peaceful, but over time the silence has become unbearable. The empty apartment that used to be his safe place now feels lonely, and every night reminds him that he has no one to share it with. Hoping to change that, Luca signs up for a matchmaking service. Unfortunately, his painfully shy nature gets in the way. Every date ends the same way—awkward silences, misunderstood intentions, and another message saying they don't think it's going to work out. After countless failed matches, he's ready to delete the app for good. Then his phone buzzes.
