Somehow, I felt like I could obtain my answer from this woman.
What could be capable of holding absolute strength with the Identity of a person intact?
Was it a great desire for even more power? No, that would only sink the person into more despair.
Could it be emotions such as revenge or desperation? No, once the focus of those emotions were eliminated, everything that was achieved by such feelings would be rendered meaningless.
Then… what was the answer?
"It's Love."
"….?!"
"There is a saying that love conquers all. I don't believe in childish fantasies, but… it's Love that has kept me together all this time. I am strong, happy, content, excited, satisfied… stable… because of Love."
It sounded like the ramblings of a delusional being. But, I couldn't deny the effects of what she said.
She truly believed what she was spouting to me.
"I love Neron. That's the only reason I've made it this far."
