As the demon, Hip, I meet George and Shannon at the rose garden gazebo (Item required)

I remember the spectacles I viewed in Ootsuki's office. Yes, these belonged to a man out to impress a woman. Which woman? If you know anything about the Rokkenjima Incidents, you know that the person whom George loved was the humble maid girl, Shannon. In the stories, we see these two challenge the restrictions of class and status to declare their love for one another. They face many, many further challenges past that. As a man of love, their efforts endlessly inspires me.

In fact, those stories inspire me so thoroughly, I want to be there. Ah, George... your confidence and boldness have inspired me. They've inspired me not to worry about what others think. Therefore, I won't worry how you, fellow reader, view me as I attempt to steal my way into this confession of love.

Rain had begun to lightly drizzle around the veranda. The sky had already grown dark. Avid readers of the Rokkenjima mysteries know what comes next: George is going to confess his love to Shannon, throwing away his parents' expectations in the process. He's ready to forsake wealth, status, and even family to be with the one he loves. If you want to be smitten with these two lovebirds, as I am, I highly recommend that you read the original texts. I can't do justice to their meeting here, but simply know that it is charming in a way that my usual sexual exploits are not. This is reckless, young love at its purest.

It looks like it's going well! The funniest part of this confession- or really of any romantic confession- is that if the love is meant to be, the confession is nearly pointless. This isn't a last sprint towards the finish or a necessary few drops in the cup. No, their love is already spilling over the brim. This is simply an acknowledgment that both of the two see that full cup.

Ah... Without love, you cannot see it.

George was proudly declaring at this moment, with all the suaveness a young man can muster, that he would protect Shannon no matter what challenged them. He was probably thinking of Ushiromiya Eva, his mother, when he said that. I wonder how he will react when a demon challenges him instead?
