Lorde's Links
Arranged marriage before birth. They were named to have matching names when born. Parents are buddy-buddy
Feels obligated to marry Lorde and cannot see her life or future without that. Gets discouraged and struggles when Lorde falls into an unlikely love because she can't see a life without being his wife, despite not loving him in a romantic way whatsoever. All of this is "duty" to her, and she is intent about it.
