It's not easy being a harbinger of doom. Everyone always blaming YOU for the doom you simply knew would happen...
Right? And how does having friends work? Are they constantly having disaster happen to them, or do the friends just have to learn the difference between disaster visits and regular ones?
Also, I feel like Virmir's ruthless dedication to logic might make him a good friend to someone who omens doom, because he would be more easily able to understand cause and effect instead of blaming the messenger.
