Day 336

[quickpersuader]

Memory - end of “A Land Forbidding Love” ― the Prohibition ―

Description: The names "Kino" and "Hermes" are blanked out with static.

A man in a business suit meets with Sky to explain something that happened the day before that might be considered surprising. The man then goes on to explain that love is prohibited by law. The country has come to the conclusion that the only purpose of love is to keep a couple together long enough to procreate, and otherwise it causes too many irrational decisions. Thus, the government pairs couples who are willing to have a child based on questionnaires for preference, etc. and allows them to feel love for four years in order to reproduce before returning to taking medicine that negates the chemical reactions causing feelings of love in the brain. The medicine is administered as young as ten years old, and the girl from the day before likely only overcame the medicine because the strength of her feelings from her very first "crush" - on Sky. Hermes notes this means the girl probably "mistook [Sky] for a man."

Sky asks if it's alright to tell other countries of what this one is doing, and the man responds that they would prefer that - and gives Sky a small box containing three bottles filled with capsules as well as a booklet explaining how to make the medicine. He wants other countries to be able to use the same medical advancements they have discovered by eliminating love if they so desire, but notes that Sky can do whatever they wish with the box, whether that's to give it away, sell it, or even throw it out.

As Sky prepares to leave the country with the medicine, the young girl (presumably from the day before) approaches with her parents and three men in business suits there to observe. The girl apologizes for the day before and clarifies with a blank face that she doesn't feel anything like that anymore, so there is nothing to worry about. Sky thanks her and tells her it doesn't bother them before leaving. The motorrad asks what they plan to do with the medicine, but the memory cuts off before Sky answers.
