I don't understand why people get so desperate over love. Consuming emotions, spending money, and wasting time on love... isn't it all just a waste?

Can the emotion of love even be defined in the first place? Is it the kind of feeling where you can actually realize, 'Oh, I've fallen in love'?

Since I've never received anything like love, none of it makes sense to me.

That's why I thought I would never receive love, nor be able to give it to others, for the rest of my life. Certainly, that's how it was until not too long ago.

Satoru, look at this! Isn't it gorgeous?

Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.

She was more beautiful than the shimmering light on the sea, more beautiful than flowers blooming in a field, and more beautiful than the stars floating in the sky.

At some point in my life, she suddenly appeared and started turning my world upside down. Before I could even gather my senses, I was submerged and swimming in the ocean that is her.

However, I will likely never realize that all these emotions are love. Because I don't know what love is, I won't be able to conclude that this feeling is love.

What's so pretty about that? It's just a seashell.

Because he was never loved, he didn't know how to be loved or how to give love to others. He only spits out harsh words, unaware of the fact that she is giving him love.
