So-chan was 3. She likes Udon because it gave her an Udon like feelings and nee-chan says that is the bestest food ever. She doesn't like big words she has to ask what they mean and nee-chan pinch her cheeks and loves cute shiny stuff on the magical box that sometimes looks like nee-chan, she ends up distracted with some picture books and ask all day about what she found when nee-chan is free to help her.

Many that visit her like the big tomato devil call her l'il 'Sera because she looks like her sister.

Kane was 3. He likes his foods with ketchum stuff because they look like him and his nii-chan but also because it combines with everything. He doesn't like naps there was so much to do and loves exploring EVERYTHING, he runs through the whole manor and quickly accumulates a small collection of scars from the number of times he's accidentally crashed with something or tries to get out the windows.

The big people laugh it off and called him a little destroyer because where he goes something is sure to break, its fun seeing others smile.

When Sona is four. She still loves Udon and she still likes her nee-chan. She doesn't like being called l'il 'Sera by others, is wrong that she likes being So-chan? Her nee-chan is the best but she wants to be Sona, why everyone just sees nee-chan when she does something or compares her to nee-chan when she tries the cute outfits?

She began to study now and likes learning, it gives her a new world beyond home and she gives her best so she could be more than another Serafall to mom and dad.

I'm gonna be stronger than you! She says to her nee-chan while they watch their favorite shows and her nee-chan believed in her.

When Kane is four. He learned that tomatoes were the origin of his family powers and he still adores his brother as he plays with him with some funny clothes. He rolled through the stairs using his big tomato form and his brother laughed about his actions but also ruffles Kane's hair, Kane likes that and Grayfia gives him the best cookies but stops him if he tries to put sauce on them. Why she stops him? He wants to be strong like big bro.

He learned about how everything is going to be his someday, and feels overwhelmed he couldn't help but ask his brother for help but he and everyone trust him to do it already.

I want to be great. He told them, he didn't know why or if he could, he didn't know what to do after he said it.

But…

Why didn't he feel what his momma described of their bloodline inside him? Is he a little destroyer now?

She was five when her nee-chan says that the brother of the funny tomato man will come to visit with his little brother.

It was important to make friends, nee-chan and their mini mentor trapped in the magical box taught her that it was important.

"She looks like… like?" He struggled with his words not knowing how to describe her until he saw Nee-chan and his eyes widened.

She prepared herself and almost closed her eyes, she was getting used to this already it doesn't hurt. Being compared to her sister was a good thing.

"Like a magical girl!" He exclaimed while pointing his finger at her. "Big bro, she watches the same shows as me!"

She blinked a pair of times at the animated devil.

"Who are you?" She asked cautiously, he didn't act as she expected.

"I am Kane Gremory." He presented himself with a smile that was directed at her without paying attention to the reaction of her nee-chan. "The future head of the Gremory Pillar."

That was their first meeting, Kane talked to her and asked her how she feel about having a sister while telling her about his brother. He never asked about nee-chan more than a passing through out of politeness most of the time, but about So-chan and only her, what she wanted or liked to do before he had to go back.

She feels weird, he made her feel different.

What made him different?

The next visits were similar and he was still the same devil, sometimes he shows off about the interesting things that he saw and random things that he does and she learned how funny he was, how he admired an anime character so much that he came dressing like that a few times until he decided that he couldn't pull it out or when he took her to watch his favorite series. Sometimes he told her that he set on fire something that he shouldn't be entering and talk about someone called Acchan who was amazing because Acchan knew everything in the universe answering everything honestly.

Kane was depressed the day that he discovered that Tomatoes aren't what fuels the Demonic Power and just rested in her lap making everything better.

He was just happy with her.

"What you want?" She asked a day, her eyes narrowed to the weird devil that was almost constantly part of her life. "You must have a goal, weird childhood friends have 80% chance that you turn evil." She needed to inspect him, because the other 20% means that he will like spend time with only other men.

He thought about a second before beginning to headpat her! That only the right of nee-chan but she couldn't stop him! It was her only weakness!

"I don't have idea, I am just following my gut and decided that I should spend time with my best friend." He can't just say something like that and make her feel so happy!

She began to visit him too since then, his family was weird and Kane had so many moms! She thought that he was exaggerating the number, but he truly had an army of moms. They watched the Mahou Shoujo series to give him some culture but Kane was very distracted and pensive about those shows looking at her from time to time.

He just blurted that she was better making her feel so warm and feel like floating!

She didn't know if he truly likes her or was lying, he was dishonest with his words as much as he was honest with his actions. She has seen him lie so many times to awe her only to fail or try to get out of the disaster of his own making before he calls for her to save him.

He was just… a silly devil who would give her the world.

He made her smile every single day since they meet.

With the months Kane turned into Kakun, and he called So-chan like nee-chan does in a way that feels... warm.

He was still a liar.

But one that she learned that he was always sincere in his feelings for her.

Kane was five... he didn't know what he was doing.

...Or why he was born wrong.

He has So-chan, she made everything better and he will try, he can be better the tales about his brother show that he can't surpass those that were born better than others. Enku, McGregor, Surt II, Beowulf, Souji, Bahamut, and Grayfia-nee are proof that he wasn't going to catch up.

He understood that he wasn't the only one with that has that fate... it doesn't make it less painful.

He didn't have the power of destruction, he wasn't more than a liar and side-character on other lives.

And he lies telling everyone that is alright.

He can only do that.

Sona was six. When she learned that she likes her nee-chan's smile and her okaa-san's smile and her otou-san's smile… That Kakun's smile made her blush as the warmth in her chest turned into the pyromania even more… yes, pyromania was like the worst and most amusing habit of him.

Many things were the same, most see Sera-nee, most just wanted her nee-chan and she was just a mean for her or would just compare her to the best sister she could have.

But Kakun? He was someone who choose her instead of Nee-chan. Who always called her with an honest warmth in his voice. Who always sees her as she was and always loved her no matter what she wanted to do without any second thought.

He always looks for her first, and she could be So-chan with him.

She found her happiness.

Neechan supports her, but she made a weird expression.

Until he failed to visit her, a single time that she waited for him but he didn't come for the first time in years she was alone. But she didn't let it bother her too much, she was just going to surprise him the next time and make him regret missing their d-date, the thought of it made her just a blushing mess for the rest of the day.

But nothing prepared her for the skank that got lucky to meet her Kakkun, she who represented the worst nightmare that a life without Kakun, it was like the world stopped moving and she lost any warm as that... that bitch was taking him away!

Kane was 6 years old, and he accepted how weak he truly was, he wasn't going to be like big b… Sirzechs as he lacked everything that made his brother great, he couldn't overcome the difference between them and he is lesser in everything, he wasn't smart or talented, he couldn't even defend himself because he failed to inherit their mother power too by just a single chance at birth, he was lucky of just born under the protection of many others that were great and powerful but he... can't do anything by himself.

He isn't special.

He hates/loves his brother. For having The Crimson Darkness of the Power of Destruction. He... didn't feel like he was his mother's son. Not like Sirzechs. He is instead only his father's son a degree of separation existed now.

He hated it, he hated it! HE HATED IT!

He refused to be like that. He refuses to be useless. He denies himself to just cry and throw a tantrum.

If he wasn't like his brother he will take everything even if it burns him, he doesn't want to be known as a failure, he searched books in the library, he reads about devils and their origin, he learns about Runeas and her death at the hand of Dharak Barbatos and he keeps learning until he found the answer.

He opens the book of Walpurgis. His fate was put at the mercy of his Gremory Bloodline. He... needs to win. He wants to win. He is going to win!

He reads the first line of the book:

A devil needs to be ambitious.

He will live with those words.


This interlude was for after Birthday Electric Bungaloo... seven months ago, so yeah my bad it was erased by accident and returned to the land of living by finding a back up.

In the end.

The Origin of Kane's Greed: A devil born surrounded by the great and became painfully aware of his shortcomings, doesn't know if he has Luck and is without hope in himself, taking words of an old Book to want more.
The Origin of Sona's Envy: A devil that always compared to her sister, only a person sees her as Sona first and compares others to her instead of saying that you will like Serafall.

Kane's Greed is 'I don't want live like this, I want more than this.'
Sona's Envy is 'This is my happiness, I will not forgive you for taking it away.'
