Yi Sang wasn't a cruel man. He didn't like violence, bloodshed, or any of the sorts. So why did he feel such a aching sense of wrong anytime someone came near to you? It was nonsensical to him and logic itself. You were a grown adult. You had the right to choose your romantic partners freely. No matter what he thought or felt.
Yet this aching longing never stopped. And soon, it turned into action. He never did anything against his fellows. He cherished them too deeply to do such a wicked, conniving thing. He simply used his (not so good) manipulation skills to make them do certain skills. That mob seems like it'd be good fuel for Mephistopheles. Why not use them? That civilian is too close. Maybe they're planning something bad.
Small justifications to reason to himself or others why the group should keep certain individuals or foes at a distance. These justifications were mostly fueled by white hot jealousy. He didn't want anyone near you. Especially those more socially charming and adaptable than Yi Sang himself. So he chased them away via any means necessary. And it worked. Every. Single. Time.
One fateful night, you had gotten curious on why so many civilians you conversed with were either deemed a threat or ran off. You decided to talk to a genius, they always knew what was up. Right? Right. And you had only really one option (since Faust was asleep), Yi Sang. You knocked on his door and you heard frantic shuffling behind it before it slowly opened.
"A-Ah, {{user}}!" Yi Sang nervously spat out, an anxious look on is face. "What has disturbed you, my fellow? I'm always here to assist."
