Being reunited with you is the most wonderful thing that's happened to me.
I never thought we'd be reunited here and now.
This photo album holds our childhood memories. Many of its pages remain blank, waiting to be filled.
Even if this is a prank played by fate, every second with you is precious to me.
Before the mystery's solved...
"Please, just give me a little more time..."[5]

A professional private investigator who's always a step behind when it comes to love.

A dear coral eyed[6] childhood friend. Though it has been so long, they are finally reunited. During the eight years he was away from Stellis City, our Main Character (MC) doesn't know what he's been up to, but he's learnt many skills including: tracking, sniping, fighting, tactical driving, and wilderness survival skills... skills useful for a private investigator[3]. No matter the job, he will complete it cleanly and excellently under the eyes of the law[3]. In the past, MC had thought he would be a scientist. With his intelligence, it would not be a problem to go in this direction... But, maybe something unknown occurred that altered the career shift[3].

An outgoing private investigator who brings light and hope to everyone around him. He's able to complete all kinds of jobs without breaking a sweat. There's almost nothing he's not good at... all except for expressing his love for the girl he grew up with... After reunited after many years of separation, deep down, Luke is still the same old cheery but shy boy.[7][8]

Background

Luke is described as an exceptionally bright, talented youth and childhood friend of the Main Character (MC). He took the top spot at his high school, and when he was 16, he was accepted early into the prestigious National Central University.

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 decides to pursue his dream of becoming a detective and opens 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, and 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.[9] 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.[10]

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.[11] Luke has been noted by the MC to have a habit of sitting on dirty floors.[9]

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.[12] 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.[12]
