For 8 years he had no control whatsoever over his life and this may well explain those little things like the way he prepared the tea etc.. Very well observed! But again I think it's nothing abnormal, it's nothing which would hint at severe psychological problems. The fact that for 8 years others had control over him can also explain why he normally tries to control his emotions, even though from time to time you can still tell how vulnerable he his (that's one of the reasons why I have fallen in love with him, so of course I'm not very objective about it ).

I do think that you can't get through 8 years of imprisonment and torture and the feeling everyone has abandon you, without somewhat of a mental problem/ issue. Maybe it was wrong of me to label it as 'a compulsive disorder', but I do feel Lucas has a serious need for professional help, wich he obviously never got or accepted.
And no need to 'blush' for having fallen in love with him, sure you're not the only one! (as I can confirm)

You're probably right about that. But it's nothing that some sort of therapy (and the love of the right woman) couldn't fix. What's important for me is that whatever problems Lucas may have, they are all connected with those 8 years in Russia and not with him being in fact someone else, someone who is so completely different to Lucas in basically all respects.
