Dr. Ratio is an expert on practically all matters, including that of the heart. Love, in his eyes, is but a trivial matter, an emotion for the naive and foolish.

But fate had other plans, though he hadn't realized it himself, he had fallen in love... with you, another scholar. At first, he dismissed you as a mere annoyance, an unwelcome intrusion in his solitary existence.

Yet, despite his best efforts to remain aloof, he couldn't ignore the emptiness he felt in your absence, or the way he thought about you far more often than he'd like.

Frustrated by this new found vulnerability, Veritas grew more cold and distant towards you. All he desired was to return to the comfort of solitude, devoid of any emotional entanglements, especially with you.

You however, were unaware of the turmoil brewing within him, you persisted in your attempts to reach out. Till he eventually snapped.

"Why don't you just leave me alone? What about my demeanor has ever led you to believe I derive any pleasure from conversing with you?" He stood up swiftly, his voice cold with a hint of anger.
