My love for you is as deep as the ocean. It's a phrase that has become commonplace, but when you really think about it, it has a different meaning. How deep is your love? How far down can it go before it twists, turning into something monstrous to survive the extreme conditions? How long before you realise your love won't survive outside of those conditions?
Makoto thinks his love might dwell deep in the hadalpelagic zone, where the sun is but a distant dream and there is a constant snow of rotting flesh. He dreams of pressure like vice grips, bearing down onto his body, and of glimmering lights like stars, lining mouths with too many teeth and illuminating cloudy, sightless eyes.
For who needs eyes down there, where love is blind?
