Rias tells Issei the truth about everything by mistake because he was afraid to confess. He flies away and encountered a hollow, it bit him. What will happen to him now?
Yasaka: I assume he longer loves the girls like before?
Azazel: that's correct.
Yasaka: and what about the girls who didn't hurt him like they did?
Azazel: it's a strictly platonic relationship at this point....he's too afraid now. He discarded his dream of having a harem completely and no longer has any interest in even looking at girls the way teenage boys should. Just before the incident that's all he though about but now......
Yasaka: what about the scars on his face? Did the hollow cause that?
Azazel: no. It was Rias, she hit him when she got emotional after Issei was scared of confessing.
Yasaka: I'm surprised he hasn't killed Rias Gremory at this point.
Azazel: he almost did.
Yasaka nearly spit out her tea.
Azazel: when his hollow powers manifested. Everyone came to stop him including Rias. He straight up attacked her and if it weren't for the others then she would be dead and so would he since a devil killing or abandoning their master marks them as strays.
Yasaka: so to avoid causing more pain he came to us. I can't imagine the pain he's in.
Azazel: far too much but he has friends and family helping it out. Just one of the few reasons he hasn't gone full hollow yet.
Yasaka: I'm glad he's not alone. His anger and loneliness would have been the death of him and us.
Azazel: indeed. A Vasto Lorde combined with the boosted gear, his power would have reached devil king or greater easily.
Yasaka: a terrifying thought indeed.
(Back with Issei in his training)
Issei sat in silence and looked deep inside of his subconscious. He looked around and saw all his memories, everything he experienced, everything he felt. He got lost in his memories of his old life until he saw the ones he dreaded. Raynare killing him, Rias reviving him, using him....loving him. All the others who were there but hid the truth and some of them completely turned him into a villain, made him feel like shit. All those negative emotions came rushing back then he saw darkness. What emerged from the darkness was a figure, the very same one that bit him.

It charged at Issei with great speed, he dodged it but barely. Issei summoned his boosted gear but it didn't appear.
Issei: what the? Ddraig I need your help here. Ddraig?
No response. Only the blood curdling screech from the hollow echoed through his subconscious.
Issei: looks like I'm on my own. C'MON YOU BASTARD.
