My image is extremely important! Something I know you pay no mind to.
[Filthy clothes, covered in bandages, messy hair- they put little to no effort into taking care of themselves and it is a blight onto any eyes that see them.
He doesn't deign Mirror Frisk with so much as a glance, though he can absolutely see their mocking out of the corner of his eyes.]
Love is merely a word for successfully manipulating someone into doing things for you out of their own free will. There's no such thing as "love".
[Love as a concept is very useful in controlling those weak enough to believe in it, but Mirrorton is beyond that. He is free of its touch. He gets the adoration and adulation of his fans back home without being bound by it. They will take whatever he puts out because he is the singular star in their skies and the only reason they have to smile. And he deserves their praise. Love is not a part of that picture.]
It's a failing that my Real engages in. He thinks love is something that can stand on its own, that it is worth having on its own. He is weak to it and that is what I am helping change. When he's cured, we'll both be the perfect examples of our brand.
[And they will have the closest thing to love you can have in a world that is inherently selfish; love for yourself. All consuming, all encompassing, selfish love.]
