[ He met Hope once, and he knows Nick and Anna, so he has a good picture of what that's been like. He's been wondering if he could help, turn Hope's feelings back on or something, but his control is still shaky at best and he really doesn't want to be added to the body count.
That's not the point right now, anyway, the point is the break-up and heartbreak and whether or not wiping emotions off with magic is healthy. ]
I don't think it matters if it's cheating or not. I don't really understand magic, but I understand feelings, and heartbreak and it's a whole process. I think we need it. I think... if we try to skip a step at the end of it it all feels like a puzzle with a missing piece.
[ He's thinking about his ex, it's been months now but it still feels fresh, like a fresh wound, like the slightest poke at it will make it burst open and all these feelings will come out. ]

Not like, screaming and punching walls, but just acknowledging that you were wronged and it's fucked up and it's okay to be mad about it.
