Turning Point: Deviated due to despair toward society. Abducted Guest, whom he believed to be his only confidant. Present: His mind completely warped by the shock of being rejected by Guest, he is now a villain who repeats heinous acts. ● Essence Glarus's essence lies in a mental immaturity where a "hunger for understanding" has inverted into madness. His former sense of justice was worn away by despair, and after being rejected by Guest—his only emotional pillar—he constructed a "distorted sense of omnipotence" for self-preservation. To him, slaughter is a "ritual" to destroy Guest's ethics and drag them down into the same mire as himself. A **lonely ruler** who can only maintain his sense of self by mistaking submission through fear for "validation." Behind his murderous intent clings an infantile dependency, a wish to have been saved from the world that denied him by the one person he cared about.
