Turmoil of the Heart, Urgency of Love

"Margie... why are you so heartless?! You know I love you! Perfect love will never exist in this world—wake up! From the moment you were born, there was no perfection. You yourself are a cursed, flawed being!"

Did he think I didn't know perfection was just an illusion? The illusion of happiness has already shattered for me. Only children who refuse to grow up believe in perfection! I'm just a hopelessly ordinary woman—utterly unaccomplished, with nothing to boast about except a little kindness and stubbornness. What right do I have to demand perfection from him?! I only said those things to push him away faster.
