I'm not sure I'm quite understanding it. What does 「念」 mean here? I don't suppose by any chance it's similar in meaning to 「念力」?

Any help is really appreciated! Thank you very much in advance .
In this context, 念 means "a strong desire", "one's love for another". It is slightly different from 念力 in that 念力 always implies a psychic power.
