   Summary

   Love after pain feels nothing like love at all.

   Love after pain feels like impending betrayal. It feels like standing on the other side of a bridge, torch in hand, ready to light the ropes.

   Love after pain feels like being the most unworthy, underserving, unlovable individual that the universe has to offer.

   But how lucky he is, perhaps, to have a man as stubborn and persistent as Veritas.

   Or; Aventurine has no idea how to love, or how to be loved. As he waits for the other shoe to drop, he is left with two options - let Veritas in properly, or cut him off forever.
