Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one at a loss.

Those who give a lot of love don’t nearly get as much back. Reminds me when Hisoka kissed Zisa and the tree got his mind blown.
