Demon Emperor Shintai is the saddest Charm
So rereading the broken winged crane, and got to the flavor text, and I have to say that it is a terrible cross to bear.
All of the Yozis are mentally unbalanced and traumatized, but that’s who they are, they may not like it, they may rage against it, but they are who they are.
But Malfeas, he can remember being something more, something greater. He can BE that thing for an instant, before reality comes crashing down around him, burning that suffering and loss into his mind anew, and that hatred and self loathing is what burns everything and everyone around him.
It’s not the rage that drives him, it’s the grief at what he’s lost.
