Congrats, your man's a knight. Clearly, there is no need for red truths here, as love is not something that you need to see with your eyes. To put it with the words of a different author, 'the eyes of the heart are more reliable than your actual eyes'.

Which is the point that I was making that this is Ange's error in the first place.

There is no need to have blind faith, which would cause you to still believe you're loved even when your partner gave clear signs of wanting to break up.
I guess 'faith' was the wrong word here. Maybe that should be 'love'. Ange lacks 'love', so she can't trust words that aren't red. Clearly, the scene were she shoots the shit out of Amakusa and Kawabata was symbolic and is only absurd if interpreted in a completely literal fashion.

Also, there is no need to be loved in return to love.
It's not like I disagree but...What does that have to do with anything?
