I don't know how you losers manage to get anything done. Before I didn't really understand why people didn't just do what they needed to and then move onto the next thing.

It's because of all these stupid emotions. Not only are they distracting, they just enable weakness. You sit there and think and process before doing something productive. Then you have to process some more because you had feelings over what just happened.

How do you even live with yourselves.

Excuse me, brother, but I want a refund.

It's not my fault half of the time people can't see me coming...

[ Though it really sort of is. Vanitas has made it a thing to be as quiet as possible when moving around. People shouldn't know that he is there unless he wants them to. By now, however, it is more a force of habit than anything he is actively trying to do. ]

What do you mean his role was isolating?

[purport]

Well... [How to put it simply?] He was tasked with overseeing the evolution of our world. Further, his rank placed him above others.

[It's only due to certain memories bleeding into his awareness, after he inherited Lucifer's wings, that he understands this as he does. And even now, the thought of his own ignorance makes him frown at the table briefly, before he collects himself]

His duties demanded that he watch over the world from a distance. Those around him were his natural subordinates, as their own roles dictated.

[He doesn't include himself in this, because that too is something he now understands]

[darkcharge]

If he felt lonely why didn't he just find others to be around? People that weren't his subordinates, not that I get what difference that makes.

[ Because if you want people around you then just go and find people. ]

[purport]

But you see...he stood above every other of our kind.

[No Primarch nor primal beast was his equal. It's fortunate then that Lucifer was possessed of a surpassing kindness his creator lacked]

Save for myself, anyway.

[Though it had taken him an incredibly long time to understand that Lucifer felt that way, when he'd long regarded himself as so fsr beneath him]

[darkcharge]

Stood above how?

[ What made him so different than everyone else? Vanitas definitely doesn't understand the hierarchy of Sandalphon's world. Or species, which seems to be the case. ]

[purport]

By design. The first, the strongest, and the one with the greatest authority...

[ Arguably, he's the most beautiful as well, but Sandalphon knows himself to be biased. ]

As Primals, we're made with an awareness of our connection to others. Thus, they naturally would sense him as their superior. Depending on the nature of our creation, it might be impossible to view the Supreme Primarch any other way.

[ Some with limiters were far more bound than himself, but all of them had a drive to adhere to roles and purposes. ]

When I inherited that role, others showed deference to me, however... My presence pales to his.
