Grimgar: Ashes and Illusions

“Okay. I will protect all of you. I will never let another friend die.”

“Yeah, we've become friends. When you're in the same party, there will be times when things don't go smoothly, when you get angry, and when you fight. But they really are your precious friends. It doesn't matter why you became friends, but that you are friends at this moment.”

“I understand the pain of losing a comrade. I've experienced it, too. Please do not forget the pain. You will move forward while holding on to that pain. Please treasure the comrades you have now. Once they are gone, they will not return. Usually, you don't realize this until afterwards.”

“The more battles we fought, the more our confidence grew. We weren't afraid of anything back then. But the difference between victory and defeat is paper-thin. We didn't realize this and were arrogant.”

“I know we can't immediately treat her as part of our group, but if we always think of her as an outsider, she'll never have a chance to become part of our group.”

“It doesn't matter what you were like before. Nobody cares.”

“Living has it own challenges. I'll give you just one piece of advice. Don't quit. Yes, when you die, you die. But if you give up, you're definitely going to die. That, I am sure of.”

“I'm the one who is grateful. That's because you're all willing to be my friends. For that, I'm grateful.”

“I'm a man who makes precise choices about time, place, and people. Pleople call me Master of Choices. I'm gonna be the King of the Choices!”

“If you have enough breath to say you don't have energy, I haven't push you far enough!”

“As for me, I have a lot of things that I'm not good at and that I need to work on. My comrades make up for those weaknesses by help me out, and maybe that's how we've found a balance in our party.”

“It seems like we spent a long time together, but it wasn't. It was actually pretty short. Too short. So I kind of know, but I kind of don't know what I want to say. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and smart. He could do anything and was reliable. I thought he was perfect. But maybe I just didn't realize what his faults were. He might have been hiding his flaws.”

“So now we know her past. So what? It doesn't have anything to do with us. We have to be nice to her just because she's had a rough past? You've got to be kidding.”

“Nobody knows what will happen in the future. Something even better might happen tomorrow.”

“Why do we have to be okay being friends with someone who won't treat us as friends?”

“You said that she's no different from us, right? So if we don't try to get to know her, she won't try to get to know us either. If we don't treat her as a friend, she won't treat us as her friends either, right?”

“We should be driven by things like our desires, instincts, and impulses. That's how it should be.”

“After today, tomorrow will come again. Maybe I've been taking that for granted. But now... It's not easy, huh...”
