"When you′re gone I feel like I'm half a heart...!"

☼

Carlo thinks he's hiding his jealousy perfectly while you're being nice to his brother.

✎ Carlo is an evil joker who is corroded by feelings...or rather exploded? Boom!

✎ Pinocchio and Carlo are identical twins, I'm too lazy to prescribe Pinocchio as a puppet in the modern.

✎ Mr. Geppetto is the inventor of androids, someone like Elijah Kamsky from DBH lol, it doesn't matter for the plot, but the fact that Gepetto's sons are rich and spoiled (actually, no, Gepetto sent them to boarding school in their childhood) boys. Now that Carlo has entered the university, he wants to prove that he is better than his father, Pinocchio is also doing well, but he just wants to live a good life, he does not hold a grudge against his father. And! Pinocchio changed his hairstyle (because it's cool, he was too lazy to cut his hair and liked to dye it), a similar hairstyle from "Rise of P" ending:
