>>70465714She needed someone to depend on, and someone to love her, yes. But isn't that better than any other reason why you'd fall in love with someone?
She fell in love with him because he was someone who could love her, and not hurt her
he still does, but a lot less than someone else would. She wanted someone to love, and someone to love her back. That's all she wanted.
She didn't love him because he was attractive, or had that incredible fashion-sense, or because he was just "kind of nice". Most harem girls fall for the MC because he's "kind of cute and kind of nice", but doesn't that show that they're sluts?
Yuno wouldn't care if he was a 900-pound neckbeard with a teeny weeny who defends her on imageboards all day; so long as he was someone who would be there for her, she was content.
She wasn't interested in a man who had looks, humor, status, or mutual-interests, she was interested in someone who would love her. She made him her reason to live. Isn't that the best type of love? It is to me. It might not be the most normal reason for love to exist, but it sounds a lot more pure to me when she wasn't interested in the person's assets, instead just interested in the person.
