Y/N POV

I pick up the gift I got from Envy:

It's a ring...it's a...snake...

I read the note:

Some pro-hero named Merlin )or something like) that gave me this to gift to you, when I was looking for a gift to give you.

I don't know why, but it kind of reminds me of...me?

-Envy

Then it hits me.

The...Serpent Sin of Envy...

This reminds...me...of...I NEED TO BE ALONE TO EVALUATE MY THOUGHTS....

I pick up Chi and gently set her down on the ground next me.

I start picking up all of my presents and whatnot.

I stand up, shrugging Tokoyami's arm off me, and start walking to the elevator.

"Y/N? Where are you going?" Tokoyami asks.

"It's getting late, I'm heading back to my room..." I reply.

I enter the elevator.

I exit the elevator and unlock my hotel room door.

I enter, closing the door behind me.

I set my stuff down and throw myself into the bed.

I look at the ring.

When I hurt my head...I hurt it because I smashed my head into a wall...before, I had forgotten why...but...I remember...I...I felt...jealousy in that moment...I didn't want to...I couldn't...it's a bad thing...

I sigh.

I think I should...just...forget...

I slip the ring on my middle finger on my left hand.

Yeah...forget...I can think about all of this...when it hits me...yeah...

I get out of my bed.
