She had asked Regulus: "Why is all of this happening to me? What's wrong with me?"

He had smiled tenderly, in his own way, and then wiped away her tears, saying: "Nothing, absolutely nothing. St. Augustine says–"

"Are you really going to quote St. Augustine now?"

Regulus had laughed. "Yes, but listen to me. Just for a second. He says, and it's extremely beautiful, that human beings love in a messy way. That sometimes, in our imperfection, we foolishly give all our love to those who don't deserve it. So you, Pandora, have nothing wrong: indeed, it's admirable that you can love with so much strength. Your love shocks the world, makes the earth tremble. Your only flaw is that you give all this feeling to people that aren't worthy of receiving even the smallest part of it. Perhaps, before loving others unconditionally, you should reserve some of that love for yourself. It's something I have to learn to do, too. When you're ready, if you want, we'll start this journey together."
