Although she suffered and wailed in his arms, ultimately she couldn't escape him and had to receive him. And in her, he found bliss.
Even though he'd only receive her hatred, he could still love her.
Even though his love wouldn't seem like love, he could still love her.
Even as she cursed him, he could keep her by his side and continue to love her.
He didn't expect any love in return anymore.
It was okay if it was one-sided.
He didn't care if he was hated.
He didn't care if he was resented and cursed.
Even if she resented him and cursed him, he would be the one that loved.
This was love.
It was definitely love.
From the moment he laid eyes on her, he loved her. Even as he became a beast, he loved her.
Even though he couldn't turn back time, this would always be love.
He would be the only one who loved.
