I, uh. ( He lifts a hand, waving it at the ICP. ) On my side of things, I'd love them. For better, worse, whatever, that doesn't change. Just what they feel, that can, and I'd have to either respect that or be so selfish that any concept of romantic love I know or care about would be a lie.

( The Lans can't demand of their partners what they give of themselves, is what he's trying to say, but there's no real concept of stuck. Stuck implies he wouldn't want to be in love once he was, and while yes, one can regret an unequal, one sided love, it's still his, if that's how it goes. His love. How he feels. )

It's not about good or bad fits, it's what the heart wants. Which sure, doesn't mean your heart's wise, but you feel how you feel. I'd still be in love even if they, ah, fell out of it. So that's my burden to bear, and is why I'm happy leaving everyone to their dating, and want nothing to do with it.
