Ritsuka - the lawful wife who will eternally live rent free in Aoko's head. It was a magical first love that taught Aoko what it meant to care for someone, and perhaps, this is the only love Aoko could have developed as a proper human. Caring for someone worthless, living a busy life full of work, and coming back to a love filled with exhasperation and care. An utterly normal businesswoman life, but a normal life is perhaps the happiest fate one could ever look for in this verse.

Touko - the lover who she showers with presents and gives her tough love too, constantly in Aoko's mind. A burning passion, if you will. At the end of it all, Touko is someone she grew up with, someone she has a lot of bitter memories with, but also the one she knows best, the one she will, willing or not, always be involved with, and will always have strong feelings for. Standing at the edge of love and hate, this is a love that is almost blinding, something that consumes Aoko's entire mind and fills her with a familiar warmth. But at the end of it all, isn't love all about thinking the most about your partner?

Ridell - the lover who she sees every once in a while, spends a lot of very fun time with, and then dips, thinks very fondly of but knows that if she indulges any more than she does, then Ridell will suffer the curse. A tad bittersweet, to wish for someone but to know you can never truly have them. In the end, this is perhaps the person "Aozaki Aoko" is most compatible with; two tough nutjobs that are more alike in their never-ending pursuit of their goals than they would ever admit. This is perhaps the love where Aoko would feel most at home with, the love of being constantly smiling and having some dumb fun, but perhaps, that's what love is, just being with the person that makes you happiest.

ORT - A fun little person she once met along the way. Maybe it was fate, maybe it wasn't. Ultimately, despite being in her mind the least, they keep seeing each other again, and at the end of it all, when the magician that can't age loses everyone around her, ORT will remain. Maybe it was never a love of burning passion, or a bittersweet attraction, or a magical first love, but it was a love that never faded, a certainty that there was always a home to go back to, one that would never fall, because it was built uppon their very beings. They kept on meeting and feeling comfort in each other, and when the world, humanity, the people they cared for, all came to and end, they still had each other in a passion and care that would never end, an ever-present feeling. Perhaps, it can be called true love.

An oldie, but a goodie
