Love goes beyond what humans usually think.
In tales, books, legends, and even Myths, Henry had read several books that told him a man was willing to die for the sake of his love. Whether it was a happy ending or tragic, someone usually sacrifices for the sake of their heart and for the sake of their beloved.
He thought those stories were just full of bullshits that were made to humor those people looking for a fairy tale kind of love.
He doesn't understand as he asks how love could go beyond one's logic and rational thought.
Henry was a greedy person who had dreams. He had many things he wanted to achieve, and being in love wasn't one of them.
Yet this damnable fate and coincidences, he surely did fall in love. Worse, to a woman who loves someone else.
Ah, he thought. This might be his karma for mocking those love stories he read.
