Is it that I am bored, or that I am afraid? That I know not what to do, or that I know not how to do it?

I write, for there is nothing else to play.
I think, for there is no one else to love.

Pygmalion / Cupid / Aeneas / Paris
Endymion / Jason / Achilles
Orpheus / Odysseus

Catherine thought of herself as a killer and put the blame on Gale to save her own soul. Years later, as an adult, she realizes she pinned the blame so she would not have to blame herself.

Louise is Venus, the girl from the high school story.
Charlotte erased Gale's memories by his request.
He was a patron at the café, and was set up in his delusion by Charlotte and Alain by his request, before Hortus came back for the summer. He went back to the Old Port on the first day, April Fools Day, and fell in love with the doctor. The doctor had to watch Gale, the man ahe started an affair with, first meet his old girlfriend then get closer to Selene. Selene was angry that Gale never remembered Charlotte, after finding out about the situation.
The doctor acted as Aphrodite, making Dawn real.
Gale left the café after seeing Alain, who revealed he and Charlotte were lying to him the entire time. This is what causes Gale to turn away Charlotte.

Alain was not angry at Gale, but tried to convince him to stop his act for both Charlotte's and Louise's sakes. He loves his daughter-in-law, wife of Sarah Beaulieu's older brother (and Hortus's adoptive brother). Louise is Gale's father's "favorite customer".

Catherine's family is paying for his un et demi. They stopped paying. His disappearance from the map is what Catherine sees as the greatest betrayal. She told him ahead of time that Louise would return to her father.
