maybe this'll be the one to not give you any stupid ideas from reading about what happened to us, we suddenly hate romantic notions and i think it'll be a lasting effect

we won't get blackpilled on existence itself or on happy little things in life i promise, but sparkle is a little bit dangerous, we will be less sparkly, we will probably seem less admirable to the passerby who doesn't know what's happened to us

do not talk us out of this one, you don't know what we do about where the sparkle came from, we would probably be incredibly happy if we never felt romance (emotion, not just romantic love but that's one form) again for a single moment in our entire lives. meditate upon it.

now that's sobering, isn't it. we sure hope it is

we would have to spend a long time to explain why this does not mean we no longer believe in happiness and does not mean we are no longer capable of experiencing it, but we will spare you the lecture

good lord it feels like sobering up not just from this incident but from entire years of our life, maybe a decade of it

do not worry, we know enough to not let our grief seed fill and explode into a witch, and so we'll stop posting about this for now and go back to the anime as usual, but you can perhaps see why if our life had been less kind to us, this would be the thing that breaks us

we have, at least, the intellectual capacity to regard and be attached to romance as a contextually good thing, as one of the many things that make the world beautiful, but that's not quite the same thing as believing in romance

@hikari it's sobering, yes
