"I see," Celestia said softly, her voice filled with understanding, though it was tinged with something Lucian couldn't quite catch. "So, love to you is about the fear of loss."

Lucian nodded, relieved that she seemed to grasp his thoughts, though the sadness in his eyes lingered.

Celestia smiled sweetly, her expression as gentle as a spring breeze, but her eyes held a glint that hinted at something deeper. "Well, that's perfect, isn't it?" Her voice dipped into a tender, almost hypnotic tone. "Love me, Lucian. I will *never* leave you no matter what. You don't need to be afraid of losing me. You can love me as much as you want, without any fear."

Her smile widened, teetering on the edge of sweetness and something far more unsettling. A crazed intensity shimmered in her gaze, though she still managed to look heartbreakingly beautiful.
