Nice Shot, Cupid! / int_72ce3f54	comment	Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In some versions of Cupid's and Psyche's story, including the one in the back of the Stone Arch edition of this book, Cupid develops affection for Psyche due to accidentally piercing himself with his own arrow when he sees her. In this telling, Cupid doesn't pierce himself, but still develops a more genuine (and lampshaded) form of Love at First Sight towards Psyche.
