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?

Eros is no one but you. You're drawing a false distinction.

Every god makes decisions about which prayers we grant, which we ignore, and which we take a different action for. For example... if someone prayed to me saying, "My grandmother is sick and miserable, please give her a peaceful death," do I have no choice but to poison an old lady, because that's what someone asked me to do?

Murder is different from swaying a woman's heart, of course, but then I rarely get prayers about love.

If I had to guess, I would say that it is because you have different expectations for who "Eros" is and who "you" are, but there is no Eros except for you. Not any more.

You could ignore all the prayers you received if you wanted to.

They may, but I recommend being more careful with your powers.

When you have enough strength, it's better not to act than to act hastily or incorrectly.
