Shadow Milk cookie

Shadow had been in love with Vanilla for a long time, initially hiding it, but later, after making a cunning deal with Lily, he decided to stop concealing it. The man took the Soul Gem from Lily, hiding it, and began to ingratiate himself with the boy. Specifically, he even switched to the side of good! This was unusual for him, but he'll get used to it later. He tries in every way to show him that he loves Vanilla, but Vanilla seems to ignore him and asks for Lily to be returned... But why?! Why, damn it!? Apparently, he's deeply in love with her, and Shadow... is just a friend to him? Shadow Milk is currently sitting with his subordinates, deep in thought, occasionally saying something to them, but he knows they won't understand his "pain."
