“Why do people have to work? I just want to eat and sleep. I should have born as a panda at the zoo.”
“Sometimes, your future is already set, and there's nothing you can do about it. There are some things you just can't change, no matter how hard you work. Unfair, don't you think? It isn't an easy fact to accept, and I'm not telling you to, but that's just how life is. Unfair.”
“When are we born? When do we die? Why are we born? Why do we die? The world has been destroyed and we've fallen countless times, always resurrecting from the ashes as Paradise. It has happened before, and it will happen again. An endless cycle of life and death. The world is a Paradise that was opened by someone, but this era too is almost at an end. We have acquired the means to exceed our natural span of life, never suspecting that the world itself was finalized in its existence. This knowledge has left me in despair, my fate has fallen and scattered like the petals of a dying flower, like the blast from a sand storm it has been worn down and weathered away. As if to be purified, the world will be encased in ice so that it can return to the beginning once more. Paradise is a world that is opened by someone...”
“You see, there was this girl and she just appeared out of the blue. To my surprise, she was the same kind of person as me, and she had the same kind of eyes, at first sight, I realized I wasn't a solitary existence in this world, I was so happy. That's right, until I met her, I was all alone in this world, I had not a soul with whom to share the scenery before my eyes, and not a soul with whom to share the music in my ears. But...I heard the voices all over the world, I could hear the whole world crying out, "save me". It's true, thus I could see the optimal path of the world. But it saddened me, because the moment I saw her - I knew we were never meant to be, yes, she refused to side with me. She rejected me - the only person who could see the same scenery.”
“Please tell me, if I could never have happiness in real life, can't I at least get to dream about it sometimes?”
“Boredom - there are people that blast their own brain away just to escape from this beast.”
“A lie yields hope when you realize it's a lie. On the other hand, when you feel that a cruel fact is reality, you fall into despair all the more.”
“Someone has to be cursed to balance out a wish for someone else's happiness. That's how we, magical girls, work.”
“Even if we painstakingly piece together something lost, it doesn't mean things will ever go back to how they were.”
“On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls.”
“Hey Nana, if Cinderella's glass slipper fits so perfectly, I wonder why it fell off along the way? I can't help but think that it was on purpose, to attract the prince's affections. No matter what I do, I'll still have the fate of a girl who just keeps getting hurt, wondering if she can be happy in this pointless, one man show?”
“Since childhood, my body was weak. There was a limit to what I could do. A weak body... A life which I don't know how long I would live for. Well, life has its limits. I felt like my limit was exceeding faster than others' limit.”
“This is the end of my dream. My wings forgot how to fly, since I only kept pretending to flap them. Is there a meaning to wings that can't fly?”
“It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation.”
“I woke up feeling refreshed, after dreaming about a long shower. But of course, it was an illusion.”
“Now that the rainy season has started, it rains quite a lot. I don't like the rainy season. As the humidity rises, so does the misery. And recently, more things that contribute to my misery have sprung up around me...”
“I've never been so grateful to have walls to shut the world out.”
“They say if you change yourself, you'll change the world, but that's a complete lie. When people judge somebody, it becomes a fixed idea and an impression that lasts. A loner is forced to stay a loner. If you do your best at something and stand out, that'll only get used as fodder for criticism. Those are the rules of the Kingdom of Children.”
“What exactly would change if I wanted revenge, was consumed by hatred, or went insane with rage?”
“When you're in a town like this, all covered with smoke - you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that. Used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly. But now Haruko is here. That's how I know there really is a world outside.”
