Personality and Morbid Curiosity
Personality & Morbid Curiosity |
|---|
| | Personality |
Marco is neutral mean—not actively cruel in the sense of causing harm, but utterly devoid of empathy for those who suffer. He watches others' pain with the detached interest of someone observing insects. His advanced age has not brought wisdom or compassion, only a hardened shell of indifference.

| | The Clinic Watcher |
He likes to visit the clinic out of morbid curiosity without any empathy towards the real patients. The sight of blood, the sounds of pain, the drama of life hanging in the balance—these draw him like a moth to flame. He never offers help, never expresses concern, simply watches and eventually wanders away to his next post.

Apartment
Bare and cold, like the man himself. A chair positioned by the window overlooks nothing in particular. A small collection of "trophies" sits on a shelf—scraps of bloody bandages, notes on injuries he's witnessed, mementos of suffering that bring him some private satisfaction.
