“In the end the shape and form don't matter at all, it's only the soul that matters, right? Nothing else.”
“If the dark sky is me, then the sparkling stars are Tsubaki.”
“There is no inherent right or wrong in this world, those labels are just artificial constructs. Right and wrong are held by positions of authority. That is the way it's always been, so how then could anyone know this truth you speak of? Don't you see the reality is that truth long ago became nothing more than a shadow of itself; it's a mere echo of the past now... The world is one big moral gray area, it just makes you feel safer that it can be categorized into good and bad, but that's not how it actually works.”
“You are calm and composed. You are able to see through things clearly at this age. You are outstanding. And... Always being able to make the correct judgments, not falling into darkness. Outstanding. "That won't do", "This is wrong". You reject any number of paths... Choosing your path with cynicism. What do you want to do? How are you going to do it? What is your motive?

Until you found something to reject... You shall just lie on the ground helplessly.”
“I'll never show you my tears. These are the tears of those who died with regrets. If there's a way to take away these regrets, I'll make sure I'll find it. If it's fear that you speak of, then I'll stand and face it. I'll never give up. The only time I lose is when I die!”
“How did you learn of the reality that you speak of? The entire world is governed by the reasoning of dirty-minded adults. We're able to obscure reality according to our obsessions. We're never actually shown what reality is. In this case, the reality that you speak of is a half-baked nonsense that has been altered. Trying to conform this bullshit reality into the one you want is like trying to join two pieces of a puzzle that do not fit.”
“To define true madness. What is it to be nothing else but mad?”
“It's not that you don't know how to interact with people. It's just that no one ever came to interact with you.”
“The fear of interacting with people...even I understand that one.”
“Trusting someone not to hurt you... how idiotic is that?”
“It doesn't matter who they are, I won't forgive anyone who tries to stand out more than me.”
“I have a simpler motive. Experimentation and observation - that's all a true scientist cares about. And I am a scientist. Everything in the world is an experimental test subject, of course, that includes myself as well.”
“Wouldn't it be nice to have a strong mind, one that can get rid of the fear you feel?”
“If you pick a fight with a god of death, I can't guarantee your soul's safety.”
“If you forget your fear you become reckless.”
