"I wanted to love a man. It seems that he does not have any interest in me. I just wish that I have a shot at getting into a relationship with this person. He seems charming and probably good enough for me. I just don't know how to approach him at all.", she exclaimed into the air.
"Why don't you try approaching some friends or family members in this world?" I questioned curiously, since species usually co-existing get their doubts cleared as soon as they encounter them. They usually know which person to approach to get their issues sorted and everything. Yet this individual sat here in absolute melancholy with no idea on how to approach this relationship.
"Mind if I give you some advice?", I told the troubled girl.
"Sure, it's not like you're planning to leave anytime soon from my head, might as well give me some advice on how I should go about handling this mess.", she replied with an exasperated tone.
"What does that person really like?"
"Basic things… He likes to read, loves to be around a lot of people. He usually sits under one particular arch and reads this one book that he has. He is very approachable, and is overall trusted by everyone and adored by even more. Meanwhile I am just sitting here counting ducks waiting for my end in this planet. All I can hope for is that someone finds good in him and claims him for themselves. I really can't be bothered anymore."
I thought about it for a minute and then decided to do something that I don't normally do, but in this scenario, it would better if I actually managed to pull it off.
"Believe it or not, I am one of the love apprentices. Therefore, since you've allowed yourself to let me be aware of your romantic problem, I shall convey the information and get more information for you, since you seem like a sweet girl who deserves more happiness that this world has to offer." I told Subject Girl and proceeded to head outwards to find a male who matched the same description that she had described.
And then, I went searching.

I went to search for the male person that Subject Girl was describing to me and pushed through great lengths to match the description to a picture perfect.
Then there he was. Sitting under the very arch that was described by her, nonchalantly reading a simple poetry book. He seemed to be smiling even though the environment was almost barren and seemed to have been struck by war. Damage here and there, and there was just one man sitting with just the most optimistic joy on his face. He seemed to be extremely extroverted as well.
As expected, the man that Subject Girl had picked was someone she would usually think to be "out of their league". However, upon entering his mind, he seemed to be preoccupied with something.
His mind was filled to the brim with romantic poetry and literature, almost as if he wanted to test his luck with someone. Although I do not have the power to tweak any brain material present like my masters, or the fate of characters, what I can do is check and see if the destinies are even remotely aligned, to give them a satisfactory conclusion to a story.
As I searched through the world's directory and thought about the various scenarios in which these two could meet, I checked into the male's mind once again, only to realize that there was a slight problem.
For the sake of the story's simplicity, I shall for now be referring to the male as Subject Boy.
Now there is Subject Boy and Subject Girl, two individuals who want to get in love with someone.
Just something simple.
Subject Boy seemed to be infatuated by someone who had a very similar description to Subject Girl when I checked through her mind.
Seemed like a match that was destined by gods, was it not?
Now all I had to do, is play the part of a love messenger between the two parties and get the message across between the two individuals and reap the rewards of my small side quest accomplished.
My task shall now be to make these two individuals meet each other so that they are able to communicate and settle into the things that they like about each other.
Subject Girl: A slightly shy and introverted girl, really into watching theatrical plays and into figurative arts.
Subject Boy: A optimistically extroverted guy, who is into the simple arts of reading and collecting articles and appraising them.
Two individuals, that liked the simplicity in the other's description.
No qualms about height…
No restrictions about habits…
Just being good beings in this planet.
One individual who is more inclined towards pessimism and being realistic.
The other who is more optimistic and imagines the world to be a Utopian World.
Frankly speaking, I could do these two individuals a favour and rush the relationship.
HOWEVER, I really cannot interfere with the internal controls and workings when my masters are the ones who are ultimately using this planet as their test grounds.
I cannot do anything else.
Is this the end of the side-quest for me?
It seems like there might be actually something I might be able to leverage after seeing other species on how they communicate after trust and a bond has been formed. I feel like I share the same type of bond with my masters.
Let me bear the consequences of this misdeed, and let me use these two individuals on my experiment of love.
A new project.
A new goal to work towards…
Project Love v1: Getting Subject Girl and Subject Boy together and hope for a good future between the two.
That shall be my objective for the time being. Within that time, I can also scan this planet and look for more clues as to how I may be able to learn on the original task.
Understanding love…
Maybe this was the task…
Aren't you sly, my Master of Finality.
