Back in the demon world, Rohan didn't stop from destroying everything. He made it personal when he burned down the royal castle in Nightbrook, but killing and destroying everything didn't give him the solace he longed for; it didn't cure his broken heart. At least before Belle came into his life, he had been heartless, feeling nothing, but having a broken heart and having none at all were entirely different experiences.
Many times he tried not to feel, but her image flashed into his mind repeatedly. He saw her smiling and alive. He found himself looking through the vision to the room in the castle where he had stored every single portrait of her he had made, and he watched them.
Back when they were in Bimmerville, he had made sure to retrieve every single portrait of her he had painted and stored them all in his art room at the castle, displaying some of them on the walls and hiding those he had taken of her without clothes, which he had promised would be for his eyes alone.
