From that happy Christmas, 3 days passed, Roy began to behave very strangely, as if he was letting his vampiric nature get to him.
Lilian:Are you okay?
Roy:I'm fine, Lilian, thanks for asking.
Lilian:Really, because you seem a little weird.
Roy:It's not like that, I'm just trying not to drink human blood, is that a crime?
Lilian:I know, but we are worried about you, we care for each other, isn't it obvious?
Roy:...I'll go for a walk, tell the others I'm fine, please.
Lilian:Of course.
Roy:Thanks.
Roy walked away.
Lilian:Mr. Astanor we need to talk.
Gray:So what is the problem?
Lilian:Roy's behaviour.
Gray:Is he alright?
Lilian:No, not at all, he is a complete mess, and not just because he doesn't drink blood.
Gray:Explain.
Lilian:I know he's trying to hold back his vampirism, but he's doing everything wrong, his attitude has completely changed, he seems like a different person, like someone who is letting his evil side get the best of him, he is a very different person now.
Gray:Is this his personality or his vampire side that's speaking?
Lilian:Clearly the second, I refuse to believe that even as a human he was... like this!
Gray:Well, no one is who you think.
Lilian:But not him, not like this, his vampiric nature must be driving him crazy, that's why he is like that, because his blood thirst has driven him insane.
Gray:I understand your point of view, and I can see the reason behind it, but I must point out that he could be acting differently, not because he's gone mad, but because he is finally showing his true nature, the one he has hidden from everyone since his transformation.
Lilian:It's not that simple, it's not his true self, it's the vampire, not him.
Gray:... You seem worried.
Lilian:Because I am, he's my friend, and he is suffering, I don't want him to be miserable, I just want him to be happy, that's all I ask for.
Gray:Then, if that is what you desire, why don't you do something about it?
Lilian:Like what?
Gray:Ask him.
Lilian:I've tried but...
*Flashback*
Roy:I told you I'm fine, enough with these questions.
*Flashback*
Lilian:... He's begun to be rude.
Gray:I see.
Lilian:We should do something, Mr. Astanor.
Gray:I will investigate personally.
Lilian:Thank you.
Lilian left the office and Kira was outside waiting for her, she didn't seem to have as friendly an expression as usual.
Lilian:Ah, hi Kira.
Kira:I heard it all, you know?
Lilian:R-Really? Well then...
