Step 8 of 9 · Love, Longing and Folly
The Lovers
Why this step
The entry says Baldur and Nanna’s bond is remembered as one of the genuinely uncomplicated loves in Norse myth, because it was real, chosen and unforced on both sides. The reversed reading is the quiet distance when a connection runs on autopilot and is assumed instead of chosen: habit is not the same as love, even when it looks identical.
