I finally picked up the first Episode volume of Berubara from my shelf the other day, and this one scene was enough to remind me why I love Oscar(-sama) and André. They've just met a beautiful noble lady (who André promised to marry when they were like 6... which is not the brightest plot idea, but that's not why I'm here), and they are cutely arguing about whether the lady was fixing her gaze on André or Oscar.
André: Let's have it your way. But no matter which lady looks at me, the one I will look at will only be you, Oscar.
Normally, such a line would make me cringe, but I squeal when I see André say it. Because I know that he means what he says, and it is objectively true. I can feel the passion in that final "Oscar" he almost uses as punctuation. I also like how Oscar doesn't blush like your basic shoujo girl at André's corny flattery. That smug, confident look on her face following her initial shock is what makes me love her so much. Her face says "I know." Their love is so beautiful. 😍
I wish I didn't get myself into another Eroica hell and could read the rest, but you will have to wait yet again, Oscar-sama.

Love is... when you feel strangely ecstatic by idea of your head getting chopped off at the guillotine for the woman you love.
Episode-hen is a fun read. Girodelle is best boy.
