To call the Great Love Guild a criminal organization might sound extreme to some, even unpleasant to the ears. But when stripped of all romantic notions and subjective bias, the cold, harsh truth remained: at this moment, that was precisely what they were.
The guild's origins were no secret—it had been founded by a man known far and wide as a merciless serial killer. No matter how noble their proclaimed ideals or what goals they pursued, the foundation upon which the guild was built was soaked in blood and defiance. And to act in blatant disregard of the law, regardless of the reason, was to challenge the very structure of society itself.
Anyone with a grain of sense understood one immutable truth: disrespecting the law was tantamount to scorning the societal order, and scorning the established order was nothing short of rebellion against the government. And rebellion, in any form, was considered a crime.
