“At first, everyone is disgusted. Afraid to bear the sin of killing people. Afraid to receive punishment for replenishing themselves with the life of another. But, once you realize that you won't be punished for killing people, you get used to the guilt pretty soon. The guilt of using humans for food. Aren't humans the same?”
“It's not a matter of a creature's individual worth. It's a matter of a creature's personal feelings.”
“Making someone I hate suffer feels really great!!”

Muroi-san! This is what it means to be abandoned by God.”
“Killing others is never justice, no matter what kind of noble cause one upholds.”
“Just like humans, approve killing animals in society, we, approve the killing of humans.”
