"But, how exactly am I supposed to save those two?" "If you don't know," he started with a smile. "Finding out will be an adventure." "Are you sure this is going to make a good story?" "Certainly.

You're already obsessed with him. In fact, I think you might be in love with him. Just make him feel the same way." "Err...isn't that a bit cruel?" "Nonsense. You'd be taking him out of his misery.
