"Love?" I was somewhat bewildered. That word encompasses so much, including compassion, romance, and the like.
The old man said he removed the shadow from Master's heart, but won't Master become a "cold-blooded animal" then, his face always taut, exterminating Ghostly Entities upon sight, ignoring those in need of help? If that's the case, this old man is terribly wicked. I'm certain Master wouldn't want to become such a person.
"Yes, love. It's likely he was hurt by love before, hence the shadow in his heart, but none of that matters now, for I have already removed it," the old man chuckled softly and spoke at a leisurely pace.
"Ugh... how did it turn into love again? Old Ghost, can't you speak more simply? You've confused me," I exclaimed, scratching the back of my head, truly unable to grasp the situation.
