From the Journal of James Skurlok

Held hands & kissed. No. Bound by law.
Asked ‘So you just wanna start holding hands & kissing now then?’ No. Bound by law.

& so having been granted this one request, they upheld the black mirror of the cosmos, & the image he had longed to see was more than himself could handle & the creator himself passed straight away when he caught the gaze from his eyes as they gave him such fright that his heart stopped beating.

This has been a work of Zen
