"I hope certain people will come into my life, rising above all other feelings, somewhere between humanity and life and death. We will make weapons of ourselves and stand by each other to the bitter end in an age filled with smoke and fire."
A "cold beauty" who's been deceived x a passionate "little lion"
The beauty might not be a beauty, and the little lion might actually be a willful, delicate little princess.
One wants to punish criminals; the other wants peace for the whole world.
In the end, neither gets their wish, so they choose to start over.
Theme: Love need not rise above all other feelings. It is equal to all living beings.
