Well, Luka's confidence here happens to radiate enough that the Protector is reassured a little. But only a little. He's usually the one in control, and this situation is absolutely the furthest thing from control that he can imagine. Worse is that he can't seem to speak telepathically to Luka right now--
"A connection? My my, is there something we should know dear contestant Luka?" Four asks with a definite note of 'is there something scandalous here?' in the way they say the words. Is there a lover's tryst planned for later? Spill the deets, Luka!
"Hoh-hoh! I'm kidding of course!" They immediately brush it off, leaving no opportunity to respond. A dramatic love reveal? On their game show? Absolutely not!
"Any questions before we begin? You'll be disqualified if you say any word on the card, all you have to do is get our Princess contestant to guess the phrase or word!" They say, clearly offering the 'any questions' to Luka or the Protector while the rest of the rules explanation is for the Protector. Sounds like he won't be getting the cards in advance to build up a plan.
"No questions." He replies, coldly. He does not want to be here.
