I set this as the third and final piece because of how it fits the cycle love follows. "Self Destructive Love," while genuine, isn't inherently good as it comes from a picture-perfect world. This cascades into "Pull The Pin," a defense to not get hurt again, but hurting others in the process. Both times I have found love in my life it happened after these two experiences, when I wasn't forcing or seeking it out. It falls into your hands whether you are ready to catch it or not. While the other two are focused on the self-destructive nature of give and take, "Catch a Grenade For You" is ambiguous. You can pull back and have no risk to yourself, but eliminate the opportunity to find out.
