Untitled #9 / Love Is the Greatest Virtue
Love is the greatest virtue known to man.
Therefore, when love is ruined, it is the greatest crime.
While seeming innocent, she is guilty
While seeming happy, she is anguished
While laughing, she is scheming
While flaunting the life-giving sword
She wields the death-dealing blade.
Attack and you will perish!
Walk away and you will perish!
How, then, will you survive?
