The Portrait Glassred Drew

**The Portrait Glassred Drew** is the second song of the "Seven Heavenly Virtues Series". It focuses on Gumina Glassred after the Venomania Incident, reflecting on her past as she draws the face of Duke Sateriasis Venomania.

## Plot

Sometime after the Venomania Incident, Gumina Glassred paints the face of a man she can't see again on a blank canvas. She ruminates on how their story could have ended differently if he had changed for the better, but acknowledges that it is too late as the person in the picture is long gone. She continues to paint the man's face until her portraits fill her room, admitting that she preferred the true him.

Gumina recalls how the man had burnt his past portraits, and how he had devolved after she had foolishly made fun of him and his brother. She notes how she had believed it would be okay, as long as the three of them were happy; she adds that while change isn't bad, what he really needed was to change in the right ways. As she paints, Gumina remarks that he still lives through her paintings and that she knew what he was trying to say in the end.

Acknowledging that she liked him in a different way than he liked her, she fills her room with the memories of her lost friend. She then sheds a tear at the fact that neither of them realized this until it was too late.

## Lyrics

*If only you hadn't changed*

Running my brush across the canvas

I painted a picture of him

After all, I can't meet with this face

That remains in my memory anymore

Since when was it that

You had changed completely?

If you had changed, little by little

Maybe this would have had

A different conclusion

It's too late now, huh?

The you in this picture isn't here anymore

It's not that I liked your face

And yet this entire time, I have continued painting

Before I knew it, this entire room was filled

With your likeness

What I sought wasn't your "pure" self

But the you that you could be

But hey, neither you nor I

Was able to realize that

That burnt portrait

You said "I hate this face"

What was truly disgusting

Was surely not your face

What a foolish idea

I made fun of you and rejected you

The next time I met you

You had become a different person

Yes, you were just like

A pure saint

The you in this picture isn't here anymore

Even if you were different from

What I remembered

As long as we three were happy

I had thought everything would be okay

It's not that changing is bad

But what you really needed

Was to accept yourself and change for the better

But you could never realize that

You continue to live

In these picture I paint

Even if it's not the appearance

That you would wish for

Yes, back then

Those words you tried to say in the end

Somehow I know what they were

I had known for a long time

Perhaps I did like you

Though not in the same way

So I continue to paint you

Before I knew it, this room was filled with

The memories of me and you

What I sought wasn't your "pure" self

But the you that you could be

But hey, neither you nor I

Was able to realize that
