Issei was just a normal, perverted, playful boy, but because of a certain organization that had yet to reveal themselves, he lost his family. Over nothing but petty conflict that didn't involve them. Now he must live through the hell that is the unfortunate life of the Sekiryuutei. Would it be wrong to say that he is cursed? Maybe not. After all, he truly is— the boy who suffers...

Ise's friends turned their back on him, didn't they? They didn't consider his feelings and selfishly pushed their own agenda. These actions have consequences. They will learn. Even if they don't want to. The road to becoming an adult is difficult, isn't it? But for the sake of the future, they must all mature. No more being stuck. Make your move, Ise.

In the time Issei spends with Tannin on the mountain, he realizes many things about himself. He cannot accomplish anything the way he is. He must change. He has failed before but this time is different. This time he will become a proper Sekiryuutei. But change is something that happens naturally. Change is growth. Forcing that change upon yourself can have certain...consequences.

Rias Gremory was stuck in an engagement with the last person she'd ever want to be with. That all changed when the prefect candidate came along to challenge that fate. It was a dream come true. He was perfect in every way. But as time passed, certain unnerving details became apparent. The seeds of doubt began to fester. She couldn't have been wrong. He is perfect, isn't he?...
