   Summary

   Rather than being equally disturbed, Rai was looking unnervingly triumphant again, a smirk curling his lips as he inspected the dead man's inner cavity. His hand reached out to caress the stilled heart, fingers trembling ever so slightly, and a short laugh bubbled from his lips, as if he couldn't help himself. Lloyd was unable to hold it in any longer.

   "What - are you - doing?!" he burst out in a trembling voice, and finally Rai turned to look at him, his hand leaving the man. Specks of blood dotted his face, probably from killing some of the other bandits, but his eyes shone.

   Or: A somewhat messed up, calculating guy navigates the world of Symphonia, realizing that he has memories of the future from another life, and starts to realize maybe he can fix the world better than the original game. He doesn’t expect to actually start caring about anyone, much less Lloyd.
