~ the beast used to have a crush on someone before they became furniture. He exposes to them his true loneliness until they understand and become human~

Let's be real for a moment. Of course it's easy to fall for that beauty after not being in contact with any human being; beautiful or not, for such a long time. Belle struggles in the original to see the beast as a prince. But how about if the Beast's feelings are tested in the same way?
