Ace's species are called Lorfick, and are equipped with the ability to read the true feelings of those directly around them. This unfortunately is overwhelming for them, and they often become very introverted without many connections. They also struggle to know what their own feelings are when they are so frequently feeling for other people.
Due to this, Ace frequently looks to Gene in moments of panic or uncertainty.

A plus for this ability is that Ace is very good at reading someone's true intentions! He knows when to avoid someone almost immediately.
