Serious Spoiler Alert and Dialogue from the Game

"Is he always like that?"

Questioned the shorter of the two that we're walking down the hard wooded floor of the hallway, he had long messy black hair that covered one of his startling blue eyes. He had an adorable curious look on his face as he looked up at the taller one.

"Most of the time."

Responded the taller one his long spiky green hair fell sloppily around his face he reached his gloved hands up and slid his headband back into place.

"Why?"

The younger of the two looked even more curious now. It had been a month since the taller of the two had brought there special guest into the house he hadn't left his room or associated with anyone and it would see that he only spoke to the elder of the two when they were alone.

"He's just been this way since the accident…since I brought him here."

That would explain a lot. Not a lot of peoples mind survived that kind of situation unscathed he was obviously still healing.

"I hope he feels better soon."

"Wrath, Envy! Get in here!"

Called a sultry voice from the door just down the hall. The younger one ran towards the door.

"Yes Lust?"

He chirped hyper actively rushing over to Sloth who was sitting on the edge of the bed and latching his arms around her slender waist. The older woman with the long soft brown hair pulled into a loose ponytail lifted him until he was comfortably seated on her lap his cheek resting on her shoulder she gave a tender motherly smile. Envy soon followed kicking the door shut with his foot.

"What the fuck is it? I'm a very busy sin I have things I need to do."

Snapped an irate Envy.

"What could you possibly have to do Envy?"

Retorted the leggy woman with the long wavy black hair, she was wearing a tight green dressed that pushed her breasts up and together showing as perfect pale white mounds her hands smoothed down her sides resting on her well shaped hips she cocked her head to one side in annoyance. Envy flipped her off and it was on Envy jumped to the side as Lust's claws ripped into the wall where he once had been. Lust turned to throw her claws out again only to be stopped by a harden shield of water.

"Enough of these childish games! There are things we must discuss! Namely the child in the room at the end of the hall, if you all haven't forgotten."

That stopped Envy and Lust dead in there tracks, Lust retracted her claws and Envy dropped from the ceiling and rose from all fours resting a tentive hand on his waist and running his other hand through his hair.

Flashback ((Dialogue from the actual Game))

I don't know why everything was blood red when I opened my eyes...Has my body gone numb? I faintly remember the feeling of cracked bones when Envy beat me up…It doesn't hurt anymore...but I don't have any strength...I feel like a discarded toy, lying there tousled.

Transmutation circle? Blood red? Was it really drawn with blood? Lying in the transmutation circle? Oh, right, it's me who lies there... That dripping...perhaps it's blood...How long has it been? How long have I been left here? I don't remember...any food! No water!

Those bastards! Those inhumane...No, I still want to laugh. They aren't even human...why am I talking about 'inhumane'...What is that? My vision is no longer blurred - this is really the place. I can see the Gate!

It's shut so tightly...I want to get out - I haven't been home in a long time...Al must be worried! Is his body still alright? Al...right...That idiot must be worried, right? Bastard! Not being here when I need him..

End Flashback

I raised my hands to clutch my head. It had been a month since Envy had dragged me here. I sat at the soft cushioned chair and stared at my reflection. I didn't recognize myself but I looked so familiar. I figured this mirror was just another way for Lust to try and torment me.

I reached a tanned hand out to caress the reflection of my face. I hated my eyes, so empty but yet so full of so many things my long blonde hair was spilled around my face tousled from the rare sleeps I had this month.

I sat on the cushioned chair nude. The mirror was body length, I slowly stood up I wanted to see. I slowly reached out tracing the red marks reflected in the mirror they traced elegantly down my body in intricate patterns

The outfit Envy and Wrath had just brought me was exactly the same as Envy's I had already guessed that it was probably his, a mere hand me down for myself. I hadn't had any clothes since I got here so I used it as an excuse to stay locked up in my room.

I looked over my shoulder placid golden eyes resting on the clothes in question, a soft sigh escaped my lips as I walked around the chair towards the bed.

I reached out and touched the black fabric for a fleeting moment wondering how it would look on me. Black probably wasn't the best color for my skin tone. That thought alone almost brought a smile to my lips, but alas not even a twitch surfaced.

I gripped the fabric in my hands and fought the urge to rip it. For some reason I was feeling an extreme amount of frustration…but I couldn't tell if I was really feeling it or not. I parted my lips in an inaudible groan; this was all too confusing,

I was so empty I couldn't tell if I was feeling anything at all or it was just my mind trying to tell my body what it should feel.

I looked towards the door at the sound of a knock. There was only one sin that ever knocked on my door the rest usually just barged in and yet again my mind told me I should be annoyed with it but I never was.

I didn't respond to the knock and the person behind the door knew I wouldn't instead she opened the door calmly and stepped in averting her eyes from my naked form. A few times I had almost worked up the nerve to ask her if she found just the site of me repulsive.

I watched her close the door using this as an excuse to turn her back to me. Her long soft brown hair wasn't in its usual style; out and framing one side of her face trailing down hr shoulder and spilling down her back in dark brown waves that looked a lighter shade in the light, but it was dark in the room I hadn't bothered with the light, I could see just fine without it.

She stared at my recognizing the hurt look in my eyes she let out an annoyed sound.

"Come here Pride."

I stared at the woman confused she had never once asked me to come to her always afraid of being to close to me. Well, there was that one time, it was the first time she had ever ventured into my room at the beginning of the month she had come to me hugged me and told me her name was Sloth and then she had left.

I went to her hesitantly at first but I came to her nonetheless. She put a gentle hand on my shoulder and I almost flinched, reflexive action I guessed. She turned me around and run her fingers through my messy hair.

"What am I going to do with you Edward?"

She said it with such longing it almost made me ache but there was nothing inside of me too ache so the sensation fell into the abyss. I allowed her to lead me to the cushioned chair once more sitting me in front of that foreboding mirror.

"Let me guess, Lust's idea of a cruel joke?"

I wasn't one to rat anyone out so I just let her make her assumptions with no way of finding out from me. She reached over my shoulder and took the brush from the small side table beside the mirror she ran it through my hair I felt a small sensation well up inside of me that I couldn't describe. Whatever it was it was strong enough to draw a shuddering breath from me and to shut my eyes.

I could almost feel her smile as I fell into that abyss inside myself listening to the beautiful hum of her voice as she brushed my hair. Was this what it meant to be at ease? To feel true peace? I could only hope this sensation lasts forever.
