Date: August 29th
From: Eros

See them?

[The image comes into focus, revealing a pair of teens holding hands as they walk side by side down a quiet neighborhood street. They both appear happy. Laughing. You might even say they're in love. At the start of a new school year, it seems the perfect time for this sort of thing.]

... He prayed for her to love him.

[The young couple fade in and out of focus as he speaks, blurred and fuzzy around the edges. Behind the camera there's a scoff.]

I didn't know if I wanted to, but I gave it to him anyway. And now she'll love him until I tell her to stop.

[Finally they disappear around a corner... just as another boy appears into frame. He pauses, but the couple doesn't notice. He stares over his shoulder, but the couple doesn't notice. ... He has his eyes on the young girl. But she doesn't notice.]

That's who she used to love. ... He doesn't know why she left. Probably never will, even if he still loves her.

[After a minute of watching the two's backs, the boy finally turns around to continue trudging down the street alone, his head hung and eyes focused towards his shoes. Rin waits for him to also disappear out of frame before continuing.]

Tell me-- [a deep breath] --am I dangerous?

I believe that there is no true way of being a god. It is more what you yourself believe what you should do. Others can give their own opinions but what works for them may not be the same for others. It takes time and while we were given the roles of gods, we are still mortal at our core.

It is for the best as of now but be wary when using your abilities for the next one.

So... is it fair then? To do what I would do and not what "Eros" would do?

We may have been given their names and titles, but we are not them. So we make choices based on how we work and feel. If you are unsure, a good suggestion I have heard is to put yourself in their position. How would you feel if certain aspects were placed on you and without your knowledge?

It seems that most have already expressed their worries on this particular subject and you know my thoughts on them. What has happened cannot be undone and all you can do is learn from it and try to improve as well as ensure all stay safe.

[There might have been a subtle 'might be a good idea to take that spell off her' in his words. Even if it wasn't written.]

[He told himself from day one that he's not Eros. He's Rin. He's a human and he wasn't made to live forever with this incredible power he doesn't even understand. Some told him to deal with it. He has no choice, this is what he needs to do for himself and his shinki to survive. Now his confusion's led to this. Something selfish and unorganized.

It's... a complete failure.]

Once this wears off, I have a feeling all three of them are going to go their separate ways. Nothing's going to be the way it was before.

I can't even tell them it was me who did it.
