Love
This one makes me wince every time I think about it
Title text: This one makes me wince every time I think about it

Explanation

It is not uncommon for couples in love to express their love in a chain similar to this comic, except instead of one of them agreeing the other loves them more, they continue to escalate the claims of how much they love each other until they stop, satisfied that they love each other a lot.

In this comic, Cueball starts the chain, and Megan responds that, yeah, he does love her more. This puts an abrupt and disconcerting end to the game, as Cueball thinks of the implications of her comment.

Transcript

[A man and a woman stand facing one another]
Man: I love you!
Woman: I love you!
Man: I love you more!
Woman: Yeah.
[A man and a woman stand facing one another - saying nothing.]
