I gave an rose.
He handed me his.
We both know that roses have thorns.
so we take complete care.

- There!-

what there was?

- this specific thorn pierced me! I'm bleeding a lot-

I'll take the thorn out, but...
wait a minute.
Pretty thorn, isn't it?
Its tip actually glows... so green.
So well formed.
It's the best rose thorn I've ever seen.

- Hey...it was this thorn that pierced me, I'm bleeding -

I will take it off.
Wow, what a beautiful thorn, right?
I could even make an art about it.
This thorn complements the stem, the petals, the leaves, it is so beautiful and sharp.

- Please... Remove the thorn, I'm afraid, I'm uncomfortable... -

Oh, but he's so beautiful, isn't he?!
I liked him so much, you see.
This thorn gives me euphoria because it is so perfect.
I know I'm being harmed physically because of him.
But it's so beautiful, so cool, so pleasurable.

- Please...

if you take it off...

don't take it off because of me.... -
