Such a concept is a collection of meaningless words, and you're clueless,
in the World of Aylward. Anyone who looks like they're showing compassion
has some trick up their sleeve and are merely waiting to stab you in the
back. There can't be any such thing as Love, it's a made-up word, to
describe moony-eyed little girls impressed by The Brave Knight on his
Shining Steed. They're simply making stuff up so that they can get
something.

There's only clockwork, you see, mercilessly self-centered clockwork.

Cheers!
