What drives a person to kill? Elric Keller wasn't born a murderer. His sanity deteriorated after a lifetime of rejection. Narcissism manifested within him as a result of constant criticism. No matter what he did, it was never good enough. He began to think perfection was unreachable, and he'd have to learn to accept that. That was, until he met Grant Pierce. Grant was everything he'd ever wanted to be. He was perfection. The moment Elric saw him, a jealous fixation conquered his mind and body. Simply being friends wasn't enough, he wanted to be him; he needed to be him. Elric would do anything to fulfill his desires, even if that meant getting rid those who were in his way. Even if it meant killing Grant himself.
