Tell me.

What is the craziest thing you've ever done for love?

Was it getting a tattoo of her name? Proposing to her on one knee in front of a crowd of onlookers? Buying that engagement ring that costs more than your soul? Or is it one of those not-so-little things like finding yourself awake all night thinking of ways to make her smile? And when you do fall asleep, it's dreaming of her that makes you smile all day?

Maudlin? Magical?

Or just a load of bullocks?

They say that love makes people do crazy stupid things. Things people would never normally do in their "right" minds.

Honestly, I didn't believe any of that; I was more on the sceptical side. But that was before I've actually lived and done those things. Big, not-so-small, stupid, and crazy. All of which I still can't believe I was actually capable of doing… Things that I would gladly do all over again if I had to live my life twice.

What is the craziest thing I've ever done for love, you ask?

Well… It's kind of hard to explain. I think it would be impossible not to understate if I tried to fit the answer in only a few sentences or even a dozen- it's… complicated like that. But if you really want to know…

How about if I just showed you?

My story started out uncomplicated enough. I was just your average teenager like every other half-alien teenager struggling to survive the high and low crucibles of cliché high school life. And like every other cliché love story, it all began when two people were brought together by what romantics like to call "fate". But that's where all the cliché ends…

My name is Gohan Son Jr.

And this is the story of how I gave up everything just to be with a girl.

Her name-

…was Cello Maoh.
