Jealousy, fear, and despair...

[shroudedwind]

[Shadows trail all around him as he rushes through the hall with the χ-blade in hand. There has to be somewhere he can go without the sickening reminder that the other Vens... the incomplete ones have what he desperately yearns for yet simultaneously despises.

Friends. Companionship. Warmth and happiness... things he never got to experience himself.

He's tried keeping to himself over the past few months, but it's only served as an unfortunate reminder. His Master isn't present, and no matter how hard he tries to press on and continue his mission, he just... can't. It's like something's holding him back from seizing power and kick starting conflict.

He makes it to one of the 'main' rooms before he finally stops dead in his tracks.]

No! I don't... Friends make people weak. I'm strong. I don't...

[He cringes, slashing several of his own Neoshadows with his weapon.]

I don't need friendship!

[...So why. Why does he feel so...

Empty?

After a few moments of staring, he falls down to the floor and groans. He needs to do something before he loses his mind and becomes like... them.

Clearly the solution is to pester the unstable kid.]

[ooc: Info on his profile. He's not new, just hasn't been around lately.]
