Roman
Roman grabbed Sakura's shirt on instinct, forgetting she was a woman in that moment, or perhaps lost in his rage. He didn't even look down her shirt. "You stupid bitch! Look down on you? Hell yeah I want to look down on you! But I can't! Do you know why? BECAUSE I THINK YOUR BETTER THAN ME! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT BEFORE IT GETS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!"
Roman dropped her shirt and fell to the ground, tears coming from his eyes. "Dehumanize you? Thats a damn compliment. I want to be a monster. Monsters are cool. Well.... I think I do. I'm.... not sure anymore."
He stood up straight and wiped the tears from his eyes. "I think, I just want to become strong... whatever that means."
SINIB:
Sakura
"Feh." Sakura scoffed at him, allowing him to grab onto her in his heat of rage. It made her feel oddly superior to him, as if she'd won the argument in some small way by making him resort to force instead of words. "Then do it, and quit bitching about where other people are in their lives, and maybe, one day, you'll be able to grow up and stop being a pathetic little asshole. Take advantage of every oppurtunity you get, and don't ever think twice about being a cuttthroat creep who's just trying to get ahead in the world. Nobody ever gained real power by being nice."

Roman
Roman felt a strange pit in his chest, a feeling of absolute defeat. Maybe thats why he laughed. "Funny. Everyone else has been telling me the exact opposite. Valarie, Yusho, Emilia.... they are all telling me I have to be kind to get real strength. But from my perspective, all the strongest most respected people in the world are assholes. Thanks... i've been going crazy thinking maybe I was wrong this whole time."

Sakura
"Heh." She laughed, but at this point, she just sounded and looked exhausted. "From where I've stood, closer to the top, all I can say is that it's worse than it looks. Almost nbody wants to form genuine relationships, with the nice people being the exception that proves the rule. The rest, well, they just want results, and any relationship is a means to an end. Honestly, I don't know why anyone would want to enter such a world."
She shook her head again, looking down at her chest. "We're both just a couple of foolish children."

"Same reason your still chasing it probably," he said, following her gaze to her chest. "Power. I think there was some old proverb like, you attract people similar to yourself.... I don't think thats a true one. I used to think what your saying too, that whole thing about it being harder to find genuine people at the top, but I think someone at the top isn't necessarily disingenuous, but that they don't always waste their personality on everyone they meet. Like... Valarie is at the top but I don't think she was being disingenuous with me."
His master was at the top of something, or at least more like Sakura and he wasn't disingenuous either.
Roman sighed. "So... what did you have to do to gain power then?"
