"So you wanna know why I hate?"
"Yeah, it's kind of a foreign concept to me."
"Okay, well you know that burning sensation you get when you are very mad at someone? Something like that."
"Er... isn't that heart burn?"
"No you dummy, I mean when you're really ANGRY at someone. Like when someone did mean and evil things to people!"
"Like taking candy from a baby or attacking a helpless squad of Prinnies?"
"... I was thinking more along the lines of rape and pillage but I guess..."
"How horrible! Evildoers like that must be punished!"
"See, you hate people doing stuff like that!"
"It's not hatred, it's the burning flames of supreme love and justice calling me forth!"
"Whatever. The point is that you can hate like anyone else."
"Like you can love like everyone else?"
"What? I don't love! I'm a DEMON! DEEEEEMON! I can't be pulled down by some stupid worthless emotion like Love!"
"But Laharl..."
"You're an idiot. I'm going to my room."
"Looks like you upset the Prince again."
"Oh Etna, I'm sure I could just make him understand."
"Yeah right. Flonne, you've been here for what, five months now?"
"Yeah."
"And you had that little chat with me about Love two days ago, am I right?"
"Yes..."
"You see, Laharl is still confused. Sure his life got turned upside down when Big Sis Prinny was his mom but still, you know it hurts him inside that he was helpless to do anything about it."
"But why?"
"He's the Overlord. He feels it was his responsibility to find out that his mom was still around, atoning for taking her life. In a way... this is his way of saying he loved her too much, too much that it hurt to see her go a second time."
"I see. Maybe I'll cook something for him then. Melissa, one my pupils gave me this incredible recipe for cake."
"Cake huh? I'll join you. I need cake like NOW."
