Durarara!! Light Novel Volume 02/Prologue

"I love anything and everything about them. You get it? Yes, I love you, too, of course. But I cannot "love" you. But you should love me. Yes, it's entirely one-sided. In exchange for your love of me, I will love all other humans. A rather twisted triangle."

- Saika
