* SafetyInIndifference: Every person in his life who he cared about before, such as his father, Luna, and Misha, ended up either dead or majorly screwed up because of him, directly or indirectly. After that, he doesn't want to care about other people or let other people care about him. That's until he forms a partnership with Noé and a bond unexpectedly emerges between them. Vanitas is irritated about becoming attached to someone again and tries to deny he cares about Noé, but he eventually accepts he does. Additionally, Vanitas initially persued Jeanne with an amused detachment, but developing genuine affection for her causes him to spiral into emotional turmoil.

Added DiffLines:
* ShallowCannotComprehendTrueLove: Vanitas has a very shallow and twisted view on relationships, especially romantic ones. He confesses to Jeanne that he "loves" her, right after threatening her precious master Luca and forcing a kiss on her just to get a kick out of her flustered reaction. After he overhears Noé drinking Domi's blood, he can't believe they genuinely care about each other, accusing Domi of being a "convenient female" who Noé strings along because of her status as an aristocrat. When Noé asks him what true love is, Vanitas admits he has no idea, but he's attracted to Jeanne because she's beautiful and fun to tease, so he claims he loves her because it's "interesting". Later on, his feelings for Jeanne become deeper after the events in Gévaudan and he gets absolutely freaked out by it because he sees no point in ''truly'' loving someone when he's convinced no one will ever love him.
