Love is truly a frightening thing; it is the source of obsession and pain, serenity and bliss. Yet the one in love is always the victim, caged by his or her own involvement with love.

Wu Fan believed he was in love, and to him, it really was love. His mind was entranced by it, and consequently, he unknowingly lost himself and his loved ones. All the while, Yixing's platonic love for his best friend changed him as well, smothered in unnecessary guilt and sorrow. 

"I love you."

These words portrayed Wu Fan's once frozen heart but it was the same exact phrase that ended his lover's and his own life.

Love is but a cage, welcoming you with its wide open arms and swallowing you whole, posessing your very heart, mind, and soul.

Love is the possessor; the victim the possessed.
