I thought about it. Sisters tell 1 dark person in family is enough. Linc simply makes all cry by his nihilistic statements. The sisters can get annoyed by this instead of feel sorry for Lincoln. I'll give you an example of dialogue I'm working on.

Luan: Let me tell you my newest joke.

Lincoln: You use jokes as a smokescreen to cover your sadness. Your comedy is a form of escape from harsh reality.

Luan: [angry] Shut up and listen to me!

Lincoln: Your anger is simply to hide your inability to live in world as it is, cruel and brutal.

Luan: [histerically] Stop it! You're killing me! You killed my sense of humor! [crying]

Luna: What have you done bro?! How could you make her cry?

Lincoln: I was simply telling the truth, sad and ugly but real.

Luna: This isn't you! Stop doing this! You aren't yourself!

Lincoln: [furstrated] You don't know me so don't you dare to tell me who I am!

But tell me wouldn't it be stupid of Lincoln to reject help and telling "explaining is pointless as you can't possibly understand me"? I want to make Lincoln look like suffering but I don't want him to look like a jerk.
