Luke is the childhood friend of the MC. Luke would hang out at the MC's house when they were younger. He would often drag the MC around causing trouble, and the two would get scolded by her parents. When the MC was angry at Luke, he would extend his hands forward, as if wanting to hold her hands as a sign of asking for forgiveness.
 
They also went to the same high school together and competed for the school's top spot until Luke was accepted early into [[National Central University]]. The two lost contact with each other after Luke's recruitment into a confidential national project during his studies. Even after the project's completion, Luke's work prevented him from contacting the MC.
 
They coincidentally meet again in the events of [[Episode 1: The Hand That Feeds]], where they investigated a case together.

Background

Luke is described as an exceptionally bright, talented youth and childhood friend of the Main Character (MC). His mother was best friends with the MC's mother, so when Luke's parents died when he was very young, he was taken in and essentially raised by the MC's parents.[9] He went to school with the MC all the way from kindergarten to age 16,[10] at which time he took the top spot at his high school and was granted early acceptance into the prestigious National Central University. As a student, and carrying on through his day-to-day life when learning new skills, Luke takes diligent notes including his own remarks and complaints on the right side of the pages.[11]

He was promptly recruited into a closed confidential national project, but the experiment disallowed any outside communication and he lost contact with the MC. He returned immediately after the project ended, but did not contact the MC due to being busy with his work.

After graduating with a Master's in Bioengineering, Luke decided to pursue his dream of becoming a detective and opened Pearce Private Investigations. He also is the owner of Time's Antiquities, an antique store that serves as a front to his PI business.

Luke is highly skilled with inventions, technology, handicrafts, and other fine detail work. He's able to quickly repair a variety of items, and some of his creations include a highly accurate OCR application.[12] Luke has a high level of admiration for journalists who, like investigators, live for the truth and put their lives on the line to learn and expose it.[13]

He currently lives in a three-story house his parents left him, where the first story is Time's Antiquities, the second floor is his private investigation business, and the third floor is his residence. Luke also has a pet myna bird named Peanut, who is professionally trained and is highly intelligent.[14]

Luke notes that his most treasured possession is a limited edition Sherlock Holmes box, in which he stores treasured possessions such as competition gold medals and models, which the MC's parents bought for him when he was five years old. Luke still calls the MC his "Watson" as a callback to their detective games while growing up.[10] Luke has been noted by the MC to have a habit of sitting on dirty floors.[12]

Story

Very shortly after entering university, Luke accidentally got involved with a transnational case, which caught the attention of the National Security Bureau; he was recruited and spent most of the following eight years earning his degree from NSB instructors rather than attending university. The "secret project" discussed above was merely a cover story for his entry into the NSB.[15]

During a mission with the NSB, Luke was gravely injured and received medicine contaminated with an unidentified and harmful component during treatment. As a result, he only has 3 years and 2 months left to live. With what freedom the NSB grants him, Luke pursues the medicine's origin, which has led him back to Stellis on the trail of NXX.[15]
