Love:

Quote:

"Emori, you know you can correct your defects here."
"I would, if I had any."
― The 100, Red Sky At Morning

(context, if required: Emori was born with a mutation that leads her own people to cast her out and/or try to kill her. Then the moment she gets a chance to be like everyone else, she doesn't even feel the need to. Now if that's not a result of love, then I don't know what is. Doesn't even have to be romance here. Just the fact a healthy and positive self image isn't bought in the supermarket.)
