The one in possession of information will be able to easily become the ruler of the liar game.”
“You've really got to hold on to what's important to you.”

“At times, I feel as though the whole world is gray, as though time is standing still. But time never stops. It moves forward endlessly, as surely as bodies buried in the ground will one day become white bones. Listen, it's always you who stops time. If you stop in fear of the future - you gain nothing, and nothing begins. You spend your life as though already dead. Whether you wish it to or not - time never stops. That's why there is nothing more interesting than this world. Don't be too negative. You haven't become ashes just yet. You have your flesh and blood, and your bones are supporting you.”

They think that's enough. Are you one of them too?”

In return, I will... make beautiful flowers bloom by your side again and again.”

“Really, what a joke. I just didn’t understand what these nice guys were thinking about. Because they were so in love with everyone getting along, they ended up opening up other problems when they try to fix one. I didn’t even ask to be thrown into that circle either.”
“I started crying. It was the first time in my life that I felt forgiven. Like I was saved. Like the frozen snow that's melted by spring, the tears wouldn't stop.”
“When a human, gives birth to a child, they give it a form. When they give it a name, they recognize it. And when they raise it in the world, they deepen it's existence.”
