I guess... I've never really looked too far into 'love'. It never seemed the sort of appropriate topic to research. But I guess if love can be that way, maybe what Shoutarou and I have is love. We're not just friends. He's my partner and my family. He has been as far back as I can remember.

[Granted, his memories only go back three years.]

When you become attached to someone, they become irreplaceable.
