Ya but you got to remember the potion wouldn't have worked if he didn't have some negative feelings for her ┐(´ー｀)┌ but still you can't help but feel bad
Alright, let’s break this down: the idea that a love potion could make people act totally insane isn’t so far-fetched when you think about it. Realistically, nobody loves anyone *that* purely. Like, if a husband leaves the toilet seat up and the wife falls in, she’s not going to sit there in the cold toilet water thinking, *“Wow, he’s so adorable for doing this to me.”* No. She’s going to think, *“I might strangle this man in his sleep.”* But she doesn’t because, deep down, she still loves him—even if she’s plotting minor acts of revenge.
And friends? Sure, we love our friends, but we also roast the hell out of them. Do you think anyone greets their bestie with, *“Oh, radiant goddess, your presence fills my soul with light”?* No. You roll up in your car yelling, *“Get in, loser, we’re getting Taco Bell.”* That’s how real relationships work: love and annoyance go hand in hand.
Now, this love potion you’re talking about—it’s like weaponized pureness. If it makes someone so in love that they’d sniff their partner’s farts and call it Chanel No. 5, that’s not love; that’s witchcraft. People aren’t perfect. Everyone has moments where they think, *“Wow, I love you, but also, I kinda hate you right now.”* That’s normal. Even babies aren’t immune! Babies are cute, sure, but when one pukes on your favorite sweater, you’re not thinking, *“How charming!”* You’re just dealing with it because it’s a baby and you’re not a monster.
This potion, though? It’s like emotional lead poisoning. These people are being dosed little by little, and suddenly they’re acting irrational, obsessive, and totally unhinged. It’s not love—it’s brain damage. You can’t blame them for losing their minds because their emotions are so out of balance, it’s like their brains turned into Swiss cheese. They’re basically drunk on “love paint,” and it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
I think it’s worth noting tho that Remi discusses the power of the love potion in an earlier chapter. While it does have a strong grip on emotions and provides infatuation, she notes that their decision to betray Emi is possible only because they actually held some resentment, jealousy, or other negative emotion that made them want her to suffer. It amps up their feelings for Pina but doesn’t delete their love for Emi.
If I felt sorry for the people she controls. If it wasn’t for her, everyone would’ve been happily together and I think the prince really does love her, but that was a hard-core spell that she made everyone eat. I don’t know. It sounds like drugs were involved and I always think that love potions There’s a form of crossing the line when it comes to consent. It’s not the guy’s fault. Love potions make you do stuff, just like a roofie does.
