The Monologue Of Hiragi Yuuta

People all over the world advocate that love is the greatest feeling that a human can ever experience. There is no shortage of materials that twaddle on and on about love and the like. About 99.99999% of the songs that we hear are about love and loss and suffering. Most of the movies made have love as their main motive. And this tradition of embellishing love is a long-standing one. People in the ancient period who wrote books and drew art and built magnificent pieces of architecture all spoke of love as their inspiration. So, the point is that there is no escaping this stupidity that people call love.

Everyone lives for love. Everyone yearns for love. Especially during their teenage years, young boys and girls who have an excess of oxytocin in their bodies gush and dream of falling in love, holding hands with their partner, going on dates and having sex, and all that. And they don't even try to hide it. It is practically plastered on their idiotic faces. And every time I see such people, I am made to remember things from my past that make my stomach knot.

You see, I hate love. People have spared no effort in glorifying love and making it their life's main purpose but I for one am completely against this idea. Love is nothing but a sham. A foolish delusion. A license that people issue with permission to hurt and trample over other people's lives without remorse or guilt. I am not making this up. I have experienced this twice already. One was a second-hand experience and the other was a first-hand experience. Both had an equally devastating effect on my life and these two horrible experiences have made me steer clear of love.

Love - that is what has destroyed me, so I will never fall in love. And I will never allow this love to destroy me again. And not only love, I do not want to form any sort of close relationship with others whatsoever. If it is going to end up hurting me in the end, then I can do away with such relationships.
