Chương 71: 71 What is Love?

And if Adam himself thought of himself that way....

It hurt. And good, because it should hurt. Adam had, after all, deprived another man of his life. If it didn't hurt, could he still think of himself as a man? So what if the law gave him justification when he, with his own hands, took someone else's life....

It hurt.

It really hurt.

Adam thought that Hubert, with his passion, would remove the pain from him, or at least eclipse it, but Hubert refused to do so. He walked away. And after all, he said he loved him!

Adam twitched and looked at the door behind which Raymund had disappeared.

Why had Hubert said he loved him and not dragged him to bed? Why did he say he loved and not want his body?

Why?

Love - what did love actually look like?

Is love a parent who does not accept their child, although parental love is supposedly unconditional? Is it a lover who disregards his partner's feelings for his pleasure and does only what satisfies his own urges?
