Aiko: 	  I understand how people fall out of passion – but how can they fall out of love?

Don: 	  Why speak of logic when it comes to love?

Aiko: 	  I'm interested in how people use narratives to construct "love" . . .

Don: 	  Isn't that a waste of time?

Aiko: 	  (shrugging) . . . only if you believe so. Beliefs tend to become self-fulfilling prophecies.
