‘A starfish can't fall in love the way humans understand it.

Starfish are simple marine animals without brains or centralized nervous systems. Instead, they have a nerve ring and radial nerves, which help them move and respond to stimuli—but not process emotions, form attachments, or experience complex feelings like love.
