Matteo Lanotte's Links
Matteo sees Luciano as something to be pitied... and possibly used. As classmates, while Luciano fooled others with his charade, Mateo always knew under that faked thick skin was a sensitive heart of gold. Although they were in the same group of friends, they never interacted much. Mateo can only assume that Luciano was intimidated. Naturally.
Though the bulk of their interactions are largely confined to the past (and more specifically high-school) Matteo impresses only one image on Luciano; that he is a selfish ingrate who doesn't mind using others to do his dirty work if he can still look pretty in the process. Majorly uncomfortable around Matteo, Luciano does not wish to involve himself with his classmate any more than necessary.
