The verdict came down, the plaintiff won the case, and the defendant did have love. But the court was empty, people were gone, and love was gone. This is an empty judgment that cannot be executed, a love that has solid evidence but cannot be reached.
At the same time, there is a paradox about evidence: we are good at using logic to defend others, but there is insufficient evidence in our own stories; we are proficient in explaining clauses, but we cannot explain the simplest sentence "I like you."
When all the evidence finally arrived, both the plaintiff and the defendant were absent. It turns out that the biggest legal dilemma is never that the facts are unclear, but that when we finally prepare the evidence, the person who needs to be persuaded has already walked out of the court.
It's not that they don't love each other, it's that all the evidence comes too late.
