me: "Bast, why do you love me?"
Bast: "I just do. Is that not enough?"
me: "I'm just curious. Like. I feel like I know why I love things or people. I love my partners because they're delightful people who always inspire me to learn more. I love my roommates for our shared senses of humor and how well we work together. I love plants because they give me a connection to living things."
Bast: "Typical of you to overthink this."
Bast: "Are those really the reasons you love them? The only reasons? Or are they the reasons you find when someone asks?"
me: "Yeah, okay, fair."
Bast: "I love people or I don't. It's as simple as that."
