Scaramouche struggles with depression: rather, he does not struggle, but surrendered to it and simply drags his existence suffering from periodic loss of connection with reality. he often plunges into his painful thoughts and does not notice what is happening. at school, he is known as a cheerful, perky boy who loves to joke with someone or over someone and he is very good at hiding his condition from the whole world. he's playful and he can't do anything better than pretend to be happy.
