Everyone in Prospero! Something horrible is happening, and I know most of you have noticed it already! People who were in love are embracing hate and fear and turning against each other, all at once! How can you do this? Don't you know how great it is to be in love? How important it is? We couldn't live without caring about each other in some way!

I've heard that this might not really be your fault, but whether or not it is... please believe in yourselves! Love is the force that moves the world! It can defeat anything, even something that makes you hate! Believe that!

If there really is someone or something behind all this, they should know that trying to destroy love is horrible and I'll never stand for it!

*You get the sense that a wave should be dramatically crashing upon a rock behind her...*

I do understand what you're trying to say, but I'm afraid this is unforgivable.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

What's unforgivable is that someone or something out there might be tampering with people's feelings!

[raisedroyal]

That's absurd! How could an unknown power possibly manage to affect someone's feelings for someone else?

I've known Luke since we were children, and the mistake is entirely his. If he weren't gallavanting around both Auldrant and Prospero with strange women, there would be no problem!

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Even if it's strange, it's possible!

Eh? Strange women?

[raisedroyal]

It may be possible for someone else, but I assure you that there is nothing that can come between myself and Luke! As soon as he comes to his senses, I'm sure everything will be fine.

Yes. Those Oracle Knights. The plain one and the one with a vulgar manner of speech. Who knows what other women have managed to get a hold of him here.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I don't think you get it...

[truthsnomiracle]

Unfortunately, love can at times provide motivation for criminal activity even when it isn't twisted in some form. As a prosecutor, I've dealt with more than one case in which competition for the affection of another turned deadly, for example.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I'm not talking about crimes, I'm talking about people's feelings being messed with! Although I guess that's been going on too...

[truthsnomiracle]

That it has. Although it was delayed, the usual crime spike associated with the holiday is occurring, although it's unusual in two respects. For one thing, it's proportionately larger, and for another, one crime in particular is absent from the reports.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Eh?

[truthsnomiracle]

(Perhaps if I phrase it terms more suited to a child...)

The usual Valentine's Day crime wave is late, too big, and missing one kind of crime.

*Excuse me, all-powerful ocean goddess talking. Besides, the age of majority is 13 where she comes from. If you haven't noticed, this series is a little messed up.*

...so there is something wrong.

I hate to admit it, but isn't love souring and people turning on each other pretty much normal? Out of all the people I know, I can think of one lasting relationship, and that's a guy and his second wife anyway so it doesn't count.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

It is not!

[soulsborderline]

Got any counterexamples that aren't from a fairy tale?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Everybody has problems in their relationship. They just work through them. Like normal people.

[soulsborderline]

What kind of world do you come from, where people working through their problems is normal?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

What kind of world are you from?

[assaultedramen]

Yeah but then some jerk can take your love and use to to abuse you. All it takes is some jerk who just wants to mess with you for their own sick amusement.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

But even if some relationships go bad, so many at once is just not right! Right?

[assaultedramen]

I...I guess. Maybe it is this place messing with us, like that one guy said...

[forgivethemtheirpain]

It's unforgivable, isn't it?

[assaultedramen]

I wouldn't say unforgivable, I guess it is mean though. We can always try and stop it!

[sciencedere]

...what exactly was this for.

[Kurisu just can't take her seriously.]

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I thought it was obvious what it was for.

*Who does take this seriously?*
