By the way what are the 4 loves?
Those would be
philia (friendship/affection,)
storgē (familial love,)
érōs (intimate/romantic love,) and
agápē (charity/compassion/selflessness,) the four terms the ancient Greeks had for different types of love, all of which are rendered in English as simply "love," a word that people today seem to
inevitably take to refer to
érōs, even when it very plainly doesn't.
Or, in other words: it's much more likely in this context, without more definitive evidence, that rednova would like to, say, shake Piru's hand and buy him a beer for his excellent work (
philia) than make out with him for it (
érōs.)
