A little continuation of my... TFC Theory and Prediction (Harlequin’s Idea of Love)
Okay, after reading AMA 2 – Parts 8 and 9 on the official blog, I can add this:
" Won't say it outright''
''Diminish his own significance''
…It confirms that he has difficulty showing his true self, that he doesn’t feel secure in himself, and that he may either fear doing so or simply not know how.
He likes the Doctor because he doesn’t judge, doesn’t push and is a good listener.
Besides that, it’s cute to see Harlequin keeping himself busy with little outings like looking for things he finds interesting, or just being in someone’s company—like when he helps hand out flyers with Pierrot or Ticket Taker (= scene where he calls us to his tent), and now we know he sometimes spends time with the Doctor too. I find myself wondering if it’s because he feels lonely, even if it’s just to have someone there… I think so.
And there it is:
“I never knew Harlequin’s parents, he was alone when we first crossed paths.”
He was alone… young and by himself...
....That brings me back to what I asked in my previous post:
- Did Harlequin ever truly receive enough love from his parents?

I really hope we get to see his past in the next comic...and see if my theory is true (and maybe cry a lot).
