Ums, sort of xD

Everyone desires true happiness in the world, the elysium holder sells true happiness in a bottle/jar. Once they drink true happiness, they as such experience true happiness. However, the drink does not last long, and true happiness fades away. After experiencing such a beautiful state, once the effect runs out, they return to reality. Reality can never reach true happiness but is filled with corruption mentally and physically. Before they would of never noticed the corruption of reality because they are used to it and have never experienced true happiness. However, due to their greed they now realise how corrupted the world is, and it drives them insane and makes it impossible to be happy again. They can only remain sane and happy if they experience true happiness once more. The bottle seller only has one more elysium left. They kill each other trying to get the bottle. In the end, they killed each other due to their greed. I guess you could view the bottle holder as a demon of sorts. He lured them in with fantasies and they ended up killing each other because of it. He is using humanity's greed as a weapon to massacre. A lot of it is mainly metaphorical though, so many different interpretations. Sorry if confusing :s
