He is not confident with himself and find it difficult to say "No", especially against Think. This resulted in him often getting bullied by Think as he is very dependent on her.
Background[]
Nina had always been looking up to Think as a genius upperclassman when they were studying in the Garden. After Think's defeat in the hands of Lóni Drauvnir, she faked her death and hid herself in Nina's house. Under Think's machination, Nina was given Think's thesis to graduate and eventually became the Gran Magus to act on behalf of Think. Also, Nina takes care of Think as her husband as Think is incredibly apathetic in taking care of herself. During the Great War, the name Nina Clive would be used by Think on any documents with info related to the Áka Si Anse.
After the Great War, the Nirvalen family prospered and became a powerful family while the Clive family broke down due to unknown reasons. It can be assumed that Nina lost her bet against Think, therefore Think became the "husband" and her surname is the one that prevailed.
