>>63569307Well, you showed that you don't understand Love, if you think it requires being schizo when someone has aspects of themselves that seem contradictory. You don't know much about people either, more to the point though, Love is something we feel at the moment of recognition of a common or relatable path of experience and personal nature at fundamental levels. Empathy is the spark that allows it to alight and I Love Layna for how she has such a kind-hearted and self-sacrificing strain and wants to be in that with others but has also been around enough and had enough shit-heads try and foul her to learn that she has to balance that with her assertiveness. I'm intrigued rather then repulsed at how she channels a lot of that into her art and appreciation for horror but even her strong sense of empathy runs into that as it gets triggered by that which is monstrous. So of course she draws people with unpleasant dispositions who wish that they could somehow possess her. Yet as noted, she is mature enough not to let them drag her down again and so they get spiteful and vindictive and determined to do exactly that.
That dynamic resonates strongly with me and combined with how delightful she is, it inspires a deeply felt and sincere Love for her.
