“Even though I'm bitter over losing, even though I'm depressed, even though my ankle hurts, and my eyes are smeared with tears...even though I've never felt worse...I wonder why the stars are sparkling like this. The scent of the music room in his hair. I can hear his slightly ragged breathing. His shoulder, wet with tears, is so warm. I am by his side. I wish time would just stand still.”
“Whatever. It's okay, isn't it? Being dishonest with your feelings is part of who you are. If that would just suddenly change overnight, you'd be a different person.”
“To believe in someone can be a dangerous thing.”
“But the truth is merely the majority of the living. It only revolves around their choices and actions and nothing more.”
“I've always gone to any lengths to avoid facing danger and risk, hiding myself within a safe cage, where no one could hurt me. I hated myself for it.. But I couldn't change myself.. Friends and teachers encouraged me, but I never truly listened, considering it the logic of the strong. Yet somehow... A boy with less than half my strength managed to break my cage!”
“The only one who should decide which path to follow is yourself.”
“Maybe, just maybe, it's a concept that's similar to a zero in mathematics. In other words, it's a symbol that denies the absence of meaning, the meaning that's necessitated by the delineation of one system from another. In analog, that's God. In digital, that's zero.”
“Hope brings me pain... if I didn't have any hope at all, I might never have known such agony.”
“I want to beat them. Even though I'm not cool, or strong, or just, or beautiful, or cute, or pretty, I want to beat the cool, strong, just, beautiful, cute, and pretty people. Even though I wasn't blessed with talent, even though I'm stupid and have a bad personality, have bad grades, am misguided and am a good for nothing, I want to beat the talented, smart, likeable, overachieving people. I want to beat those with friends when I can't have friends. I want to beat the people who work hard when I can't work hard. I want to beat the the victorious people when I can't win. I want to beat the happy people when I'm miserable. Even if I'm hated, even if I'm despised, even if I'm useless, I want to prove that I'm better than the main characters!”
“There are all sorts of goodbyes. There are sad goodbyes, and sometimes goodbyes you're thankful for, that take a load off your mind. It often happens that someone you say goodbye to unexpectedly returns, all self-conscious. Then there are times when, anticipating that, you put on the front of a short goodbye, only to have them not return so soon. And then there are goodbyes that last forever, true goodbyes that only happen once in your life.”
“Slacking off' sounds bad. However, enjoying more of your day with the time you saved by doing your job in a clever way is definitely not a bad thing. Times like that are what makes a human's life rich. If you exaggerate, it could be called laziness, surely. However, people only become mature when they are able to balance work with enjoyment. In short, if all you care about is your job, you're not fully mature.”
“It isn't just "others". Not "others". It's my Family. I'll force my ideals on my family. And since they're family, I'll lie to them. I'll deceive them. I'll cause them trouble. I'll make them worry. I'll owe them things, things I'll never be able to repay. However, I think that's okay. If you say that being an impostor is evil, then I will shoulder the burden of that evil. If lying is a bad thing, then I'm fine being the bad person. I don't need them to like me. I'm fine with being the worst kind of person.”
“God would never put us through all this suffering if he didn't think we could bear it.”
“If you let yourself get depressed, you'd be making light of the people who trust and follow you.”
“Red is supposed to be the color of fate, right? Even if its annoying right now, it might connect to something good when you least expect it.”
“There's nothing more satisfying than conquering all types of girls.”
“The sounds you find pretty, and the sounds the other members find pretty... Are they really the same?”
“No, but I can learn. I'll bathe in blood. If that's what it takes to protect my friends, I'll take it. All the hatred, the disease. I'll take it as my own and end it.”
“How many people you killed, or how many you let live, it doesn't matter to me. You people incurred my wrath... That's reason enough, for you to meet your demise.”
“To put things simply, if your past makes your present... Then your present can and will make your future. When you think about it that way... You absolutely have the potential to be anything you want to be, don't you agree?”
