His love of beauty has set him apart his whole life. It's easy for men to appreciate pretty women or animals, but when it comes to clothes or jewels or sunsets, he feels like the only one. He's something different from the rest of them because he knows how flashy life is, a bright spark that will flare and die. He wants to soak it all in while he's here.
In appreciating beauty, he cannot help but think of her. She's not flashy or sparking, but someone different, something more unique than that. He's known her all his life, but he's never met anyone else who comes close to her. It's like the rest of the world was made of fireflies, flittering around meaninglessly, but she was a star, what they were all imitating and chasing after and longing for. She was something raw and good. Her cheekbones were the frame of his mind, her quiet voice was the meaning of his life. All the other little things faded away in reverence of her shining spirit; she was the only real beauty in the world.
His love of beauty had really only been a love of her all along.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
This one was a little hard to write because in the games, I'm not too familiar with the man… It may be a little harder to guess as a result. Well, it's Julius and Candace from Animal Parade/Tree of Tranquility! I tried to give him a little more masculinity, but not so sure how well I succeeded… O.O
