I never said it was, did I? For a libertine like myself to restrict the freedoms of another would be downright hypocritical! And far less interesting, for that matter.

[At least as far as this agreement with Chuuya is concerned. Hypocrisy is practically Mephisto's middle name otherwise.]

Think of it less that I'm tying you down, and more that I'm tearing down the walls holding you in-- lifting you up and allowing you to truly shine to the best of your ability! And to see just how far you can go with someone like me supporting you.
