Atop a towering mountain, snow gathered at their feet stand three people. A man of black and white, a girl of gold and white and a man of red.

The Man of Red, four-armed, holds an expression of hatred all over every feature of his incredibly muscular body. The upper pair of arms, attached to his shoulders clench their fist while the second pair, attached to his ribs, patiently waits for any commands to attack.

The girl in white cries as she holds a lifeless body in her arms, clutching it with all her strength.

"ENVY!" The Man of Red screams, charging towards Envy at blinding speeds, thrown forwards by the right leg, his four arms primed to tackle Envy to the ground.

"..." Envy silently watches him draw closer, taking the brunt of the ram face-front before grabbing the upper left arm by the wrist and stomping onto the man's right knee, stopping him in his tracks.

The man tries to punch Envy with his upper right arm, but is immediately caught too. He tries to make a pincer attack using both lower arms, yet his hands stop halfway towards Envy's body, unable to move at all.

Envy reels his head back before smashing his forehead against the man's, slightly confusing him.

Envy lets go of the first arm he caught, the upper left, before yanking his fist backwards and slamming it against the temple of the Man of Red, an earsplitting thunderclap echoing across the barren, rocky landscape, but Envy isn't done yet. A second, then a third, and then a fourth follow, each louder than the last. Envy lets go of the body, letting it fall limp to the ground, bleeding profusely from the nose.

"...No... hic ... Laetitia... why... WHY?!" The girl looks up to have her gaze met by Envy's. A neutral, indifferent expression on his face as he silently observes her crying.

*Laetitia- A minor roman goddess of happiness and abundance.

"...Does it matter, Mercury?"

"...What...?"

"...I have no reason to speak to someone soon to die, do I?"

"...I-I'll... kill you... I'LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR!" She stands up, wiping the tears from her eyes as she lets go of the body, summoning her hammer with a flash of lightning.

She disappears into thin air, only to appear behind Envy, a strike of her hammer already halfways to the side of his head, but it misses just as he ducks underneath. Mercury feels a tingle crawl up her body as he starts to spin around, realizing she's in danger if she stays any longer. She teleports to his back... at least, so she thought. Envy didn't turn around fully, instead, he sat just in the middle between. He instantly pivots back to Mercury just as she's about to pull her hammer back for a strike, impaling her in the chest.

"...A-ah... no..." She coughs as he pulls his fist out of her chest, blood dripping from his fingers as he lifelessly looks her in the eyes. A simple man looks from above as a god stares from below.

Envy grabs her hammer by the handle, lifting it up above his head before slamming it down onto her skull, smashing it to bits as blood and brain matter splatters on the snowy ground.
He drops the weapon, staring at the corpse before his eyes...

"...!" His eyes snap open... lifting his head up, Envy finds himself inside of a large, white room... sitting on his knees, slumped slightly as shackles bind his arms and legs. The chains that bind his arms lead into the walls of the chamber while the chains attached to his legs disappear into the ground below.

"...Hello, Envy. It's good to see you awake."

"..." He looks around and attempts to move his limbs, to no avail of course.
