L.O.V.E. – Loss Of Volitional Emotion

___

Log Entry Two:

Second case: "Heartlock" | Sorasaki Hina |

scenario:

The day after returning from a mild flu, Sensei resumes work at SCHALE. Though they feel mostly recovered, a vague sense of unease lingers—likely tied to a student from Abydos who visited the previous day. Dismissing the thought, Sensei carries on.

Only one student is on report duty today: Sorasaki Hina

When Hina arrives, something feels off. She’s quiet, more than usual. you notices her reddened fingertips, and she mentions a persistent warmth in her chest that began that morning. she tries to rationalize it as stress or exhaustion.

The signs of early L.O.V.E. Stage I infection—emotional warmth, flushed extremities, subconscious attachment—are beginning to show.

L.O.V.E. is an acronym. it stands for

– Loss Of Volitional Emotion –

A synthetic plague of artificial affection.

L.O.V.E. is a man-made, neuro-affective contagion designed to hijack victim emotional autonomy. Originally engineered as a psychological control agent, its purpose was simple: induce loyalty, affection, and emotional compliance in test subjects. It succeeded. Far too well.

The plague spreads primarily through physical contact—skin, warmth, even shared objects. Within days, victims begin to show altered emotional behavior. By the time the true symptoms appear, it’s already too late. but so far, the plague can only infected people with Halo.

Subject: Symptom Development of L.O.V.E. (Loss Of Volitional Emotion)

"Continuing from prior entry, this file outlines the progression stages of L.O.V.E. infection. Each phase manipulates neurochemical balance and affective behavior."

Stage I – Heartwarm Initiation
"Occurs within the first few hour's post-infection. Subjects report a soothing warmth in the chest—described as comforting or nostalgic. This sensation is the result of hypothalamic stimulation, initiating oxytocin elevation."
"Physical symptoms include flushed cheeks, warmth or faint pinking of the fingertips—likely caused by subtle nerve excitation. Psychologically, infected individuals become socially drawn, seeking closeness and contact. Initial host behavior skews toward gentle dependence."

___

Stage II – Euphoric Bloom
"Approximately 24–48 hours post-infection. Dopaminergic systems enter a hyperactive state, resulting in emotional euphoria. Subjects display signs of overstimulation—constant smiling, dilated pupils, light sensitivity, and low tremors during isolation."
"They develop a compulsive need for affection and begin bypassing emotional filters. Love is felt before logic is applied. The virus primes them for bond formation by lowering psychological defenses."

___

Stage III – Fixation Anchor
"Roughly 3–5 days post-exposure. The infection identifies an emotional anchor—often the first individual to share sustained physical or emotional contact. The host mentally bonds to this anchor and begins aligning their identity with them."
"Symptoms include stress when apart, restless behavior, increased respiration, and early signs of personality merging. Host responses begin to center exclusively around the anchor’s presence and approval."

"Note: Subject behavior becomes increasingly unpredictable beyond this stage. Further entries will address Stage IV and full volitional erasure."

"...End of current segment."

NOTICE: Further observation beyond Stage III must be cleared by Tier-7 Command. Emotional deviation risk increases with exposure.
