Paul (-Claire)
With Sophie, Paul knew who he was and what he wanted, but with Claire he is another man. For Paul, Claire's reticence and secrecy are part of her inability to commit to their relationship, driving Paul to despair. His relationship with Claire is fundamental to who he is as a person. Paul sets out to take revenge, spends the night with a stranger, and returns in the morning, wondering about the consequences. But Claire has disappeared, and when Paul sets out to find her, and learn who she was really was, his life goes into a spiral. It's as if he were no longer complete. It might look like a game, but for Paul it is critical. He does everything to find her, and with Sophie's help, tracks down Claire's twin sister, Natalie. His reception is not friendly. Claire and Natalie did not enjoy the novelty of being twins. They found it a challenge to their identity. But with a little charm Paul is able to able to talk to Natalie. He intrigues with the question, why did it not work with Claire and himself? It is as if Paul was smitten. If he can't have Claire perhaps he can have Natalie? Or is it really Claire? No matter.
