Identified with a School: | Second paragraph |
---|---|
The Nocturnals | […] you want […] to reveal a dark truth of the human heart. Here is the unusual love story of an ardent revolutionary […] Here […] a corrupt politician […] It is a doomed romance. All the well-intentioned parties are fools, and all the villains miserable.

The Bazaarines | No, what you want is the best love story, and you construct it the way an artisan makes an inlaid table. From this love story, lift the […] wretched twist […] File away the inconsistencies of these bijou tales, glue them down and fill the gaps. Perfection. |
The Celestials | No, what you want to do is pull together strands from all these stories and weave them together into something new and uplifting, a romantic history that will inspire the listener with renewed hope in higher things. A Celestial's love story. |
