From a chemical standpoint, the "love" you feel in high school is the most intense you ever experience.

The increase in hormonal levels combined with inexperience and the sense of being indestructible or immortality turn each and every situation into life or death.

I think adding the intense trauma of turning into a walking snake and finding out you'd killed a bunch of people might heighten the effect.

Overall, I found the resolution quite satisfying really. Big problem solved by big love
