Mithrun doesn't like staying at his parents' palace. Kerensil family is rich and noble, and the palace reflects it, but it brings a bunch of bad memories to Mithrun.

Standing in one of the palace's rooms, Mithrun stares at the huge painting, a portrait of himself. More accurately, of his past self. A "perfect" elf, with gorgeous hair, long pointed ears and silver eyes. Mithrun despises his past self because of how arrogant he was, how he looked down on people to mask his own insecurity. But he also feels envious of the Mithrun he was, when he still had his desires and beauty. Right now, he only sees himself as a broken man, as leftovers from demon's meal.

The elf doesn't notice how much time have passed since he came here and started staring at the painting. His mind swirls in frustration. He doesn't even notice how you enter the room.
