Nighttime was growing closer; the sun was setting ever so slowly why the moon arose from the north. Rose watched from the opened window why listening to the others converse. "Sup?" An unknown voice rang. Rose looked up to see the one and only Lawless of Greed standing before her. "Hello." She replied why he took a seat next to her. "Some story you just told." Rose nodded in response. "Why are you so afraid?" "It's because I'm the Servamp of Fear, being afraid is kind of my thing." Rose sighed and looked down at her hands. "It's just the way I am, and it's the way I'll always be." Lawless took in the fact that she also seemed, sad. "I just want peace, happiness, and hope for every Servamp. I want to help them achieve their dreams and goals in life."

Where had Lawless heard that before, Ophelia? It hurt, it hurt remembering her. It was painful, despite Pride telling him no; warning him not to. yet; he fell in love with a human. She had died for her dreams, which in the end was pointless. Maybe not to her, but in reality, the peace she worked so hard to obtain was destroyed in just seconds.

Before becoming Licht's Servamp, Lawless had many Eve's, one in particular, who he fell in love with, her name was princess Ophelia. She was a kind soul, one who loved peace over everything. Lawless was captured by the castles guards and tied up in hopes they could experiment on him or get information about vampires. Ophelia was a child at the time, she was the one who rescued him and shown everyone that he was no threat. Because of the act of kindness, she shown him, Lawless allowed the young girl to become his eve. She took care of the Servamp. As years went by Lawless fell in love with her, but at a price. Ophelia was later wed to a king, in hopes of peace. Yet, the peace treaty the two kingdoms made fell apart and Ophelia allowed her life to be executed for the peace. Which was later torn apart by a war between the kingdoms.

After Ophelia, Lawless tried to move on; however, he was a broken soul. He would kill his eves once he became bored with them. Licht was entertaining to Lawless. He was a violent angel. Licht kept Lawless from drifting off, back to the past. Ophelia was his past and his dream. he watched his dream die along with the peace she created. Dreams are only figments of the imagination anyways.

"Why have dreams?" Lawless questioned, "They are pointless and stupid. They will crush you in the end, just like they did me. just like Ophelia's efforts." Rose became quiet. "so, you think someone close to you died without meaning and was forgotten-" "you know nothing about being forgotten!" Lawless interrupted in a fit of rage. "her efforts were useless! The peace she fought for died with her! Her efforts were forgotten!" "No, they weren't." Rose calmly protested "I do not know Ophelia; but, at least you remember her, you remember all she did." "but what's the point..." the room once again became quiet.

"You fell in love with this human? Didn't you Lawless." Man, this girl could read a guy like a book. "I suppose that is true to an extent Lawless, however, if we never try to have dreams and be someone then we couldn't become anyone at all. Take Licht as an example. From what I know of him he enjoys playing music for people. But even if people will cry for someone else, his dream still makes him happy."

Rose giggled and continued, "he loves playing the piano and he isn't bothered that he might not be the only great pianist in the world or in the history of music. Just think about it like this, if he hadn't had an aspiration to become great, he wouldn't be the great pianist he is today. Our dreams make us who we are Lawless. You just need to find that dream and go after it." Lawless was shocked, Licht once told him that, yet all he wanted to do was to be the man Ophelia wanted him to be.

"I guess all I'm saying Lawless, is that I just want to be your friend. I want to help you and the Servamps get over your fears. I know moving on from Ophelia is your fear, you're afraid that you will forget her, but truth be told, you will never forget about her, you love her too much. I know moving on is difficult. I should know, I fell in love with a human as well. But, you shouldn't become stagnated because she is no longer here. Move on to another dream, dream another dream, Lawless. Be someone you want to be, not just for her but for yourself as well. Even though she may be gone, your memories of her will never fade." Rose smiled over at him "Trust me Lawless-" "Hyde." "...what?" "My name, the name Licht gave me; its Hyde." Lawless took off his red-framed glasses and smiled. Surprisingly it was genuine, which Rose kindly presented back.

Ririi watched the whole thing from the sidelines, perhaps Rose was the one that would help these Servamps, but how would she help that poor soul Tsubaki. From what Rose said he tried to start a war with his siblings, all because he was depressed and upset about his creator's death. Most likely there was bad blood between the siblings and Tsubaki, Ririi hoped that this was what Rose really wanted to do. But something kept coming back up in Ririi's mind; if Rose's brother was there to destroy the Servamp siblings, where was he now, why hasn't he attacked yet and why did Rose never mention him before?

Everyone was sitting in the living room now. Misono clapped his hands together, an idea popped into his head. "What if you all have a sleepover here tonight, that way we can all get to know one another!" Ririi blushed, that would be a great idea. Both her and Rose could possibly become friends with these guys and just maybe bring the siblings even closer. "Sure, that sounds like a brilliant idea Misono!" Ririi smiled in delight, this was a major strike for Misono. Making Ririi smile was at the top of his 'to do' list, now if everyone could get along for the rest of the night.
