"Don't you see, my dear?~ This is what love is."
"It makes your heart feel so full-so warm-it might just burst! Boom!~" The woman giggled, her voice lilting like a melody. "Love is the sweetest thing when the one you adore cherishes you back. Like honey melting on your tongue, dripping from their lips... intoxicating, isn't it?"
She sighed dreamily before her tone darkened, just slightly.
"But oh~ love is not always so sweet."
"Sometimes, it's bitter. Agonizingly bitter." Her voice dipped lower, a whisper laced with something unspoken. "When they don't notice the depths of your love, it leaves you hollow-like a lonely little ghost, floating unseen in the shadows."
The child blinked. "Eh? I still don't get it, Mama."
A chuckle, soft and knowing. "Ah, but you will, my sweet child. One day, you'll understand how love can change a person-lift them higher... or twist them into something unrecognizable. And isn't that wonderful?~"
She cupped the child's cheek, her touch featherlight yet strangely heavy.
"Love seeps into every corner of your soul, molding you, shaping you... making you better. Or bending you into something else entirely."
"It makes people do the most beautiful things... and sometimes, the most terrifying things."
Her lips curled into a smile, shadowed in the dim light.
"One day, my love, you'll feel it too. How love can consume you... completely."
