- Super Healthy Relationships
- Blatant lies
- Angst
- Sarcasm
- Exploding Insects

- putting the 'emo' in 'demon'
Summary

Mephistopheles does not love himself. He does not love God; he does not love Lucifer. Once he had loved all three—but out of order, in the wrong way.
He does not love Faustus.
(He is uncomfortably aware that he wishes he could.)
Companion piece to "not half so fair as thou" and pretty much needs that one to make sense. Go read that first! I think it came out pretty well!
