SAD:
"is lovesickness rare?"
LIGHT:
"not particularly. many people could have it, even if they aren't aware. just like how you didn't know you had it either."
SAD:
"so there could be thousands of people suffering from lovesickness, and they won't even know what's causing them the pain? can't they just go to a psychiatrist like me?"
LIGHT:
"they're afraid to, and perhaps too weak to have the will to confront another about their problem. they think it's just some strange pain that will go away, that it's nothing severe and will be pointless to try and cure."
LIGHT:
"that's a terrible mistake that people often make."
SAD:
"if i can do it, why can't they?"
LIGHT:
"you're very strong, jimin, that's why. you're not afraid of consequences, and you follow what you want. you dismissed all those voices clouding your thoughts, mumbling orders and telling you what to do. you looked passed them, and were able to get yourself some help."
SAD:
"is that a good thing?"
LIGHT:
"yes, and no."
SAD:
"how so?"
LIGHT:
"it's spectacular that you were able to overcome the voices and your guard. that explains that you have undeniably great willpower."
LIGHT:
". . . but that also means that your desire for love is dangerously high."
SAD:
"love? i don't love anyone, though."
LIGHT:
"are you positive?"
LOSS:
"don't lie. you know you love him. where is it going to get you if you lie to your psychiatrist? he's trying to help you."
SAD:
"w-well, i don't know if it's really love . . ."
SAD:
"i think it was just a small crush."
LIGHT:
"if it is what you say it is, that small crush will advance. like i said, you're strong. you know what you want, and won't stop until you get it."
LIGHT:
"tell me, how grievous was your last love?"
SAD:
"like fucking hell."
LIGHT:
"hm, i see. that also explains why. level of desire may vary depending on the person's last heart break."
LIGHT:
"you really loved them, didn't you?"
SAD:
"yeah, i did. i loved him a lot."
SAD:
"say . . . do you have lovesickness?"
LIGHT:
"me? well, if you really want to know, yes. i do have it."
LIGHT:
"i've had it for four years and counting."
SAD:
"from who? if you don't mind me asking. i just want to get to know you more, since we've been talking about me so much. even though that's the point of all of this."
LIGHT:
"well . . ."
LIGHT:
"victims of lovesickness are technically not permitted to expose their last love, because there's the chance that two people could've had the same one."
LIGHT:
"but you are my patient, and my purpose here is to help you and answer any concerns you may have."
SAD:
"what happens if two victims reveal that they have the same last love?"
LIGHT:
"both of their desire rate will skyrocket. their guard will immediately shatter, and the being's mentality will be altered greatly."
LIGHT:
"it's unlikely, but do you still wish to know my last lover?"
SAD:
"please."
LIGHT:
"his name was min yoongi."
LOSS:
"good luck, my friend."
