i read this novel on a daily basis and survived. thus, i couldn't give up on this story.

you who once went by / where will you belong?

turn into a shooting star that briefly shines / but warms up every heart.

i can use this body i have now to lift the weight of the stones that i bear. / what's something that only you can do?

destined to a long life and a hollow will.

pain is the price to survive / to evolve!

turn into a shooting star that briefly shines / but warms up every heart.

you... you are my king... i will serve you. i will devote myself to you. please lead me... let me dream your dream!

‘probably’, he said, but with a weight in his voice that spoke of the hundreds, the thousands of times he must have replayed those battles differently in his head. and in those different simulations, how many times had he seen himself die?

live! you are qualified to do so.

three cheers for tyranny / unapologetic apathy!

then i, too, shall make a sacrifice! now that i am dead, i have no need for a heart to weigh my sins!

-kiana! what are you doing here? if the seal is broken... -shut it! then i'll wreck her good again! want to run away from me? not a chance!

there is no need to fear. the pain will be brief. your era... is coming to an end.

-kiana! what are you doing here? if the seal is broken... -shut it! then i'll wreck her good again! want to run away from me? not a chance!

unfold this pair of wings for me again / to soar above this world.

i am martin blackwood, and i am not lonely anymore; i am not lonely anymore.

life blooms like a flower / far away or by the road / waiting for the one / to find the way back home.

he didn't squeeze it. it was as if he was hesitating to do anything that might wrinkle it even slightly. though all i saw were the faint trembling in his brow and lips, it was like viewing a kaleidoscope of emotion.

-kiana! what are you doing here? if the seal is broken... -shut it! then i'll wreck her good again! want to run away from me? not a chance!

if rescuing you is a sin, then i'll gladly become a sinner.

he didn't squeeze it. it was as if he was hesitating to do anything that might wrinkle it even slightly. though all i saw were the faint trembling in his brow and lips, it was like viewing a kaleidoscope of emotion.

failure is not the same as death, but know that only the living can prevail.

but… even if there is no repose beyond it… even if there is only despair… i want to walk my own path!

i took you for a god in the heavens, but you! what did you take me for? you never took me for anything!

and, they made a decision as a human. they would be someone who rid the king of his solitude, and would always stand by his side.

hail my proud queen on and on, on and on.

as snow falls on desert sky / until the end of everything!

now you rest in this coffin, encased in layer upon layer of ice. but rosalyne, i promise you... your final resting place will be the entirety of the old world.

witness the will of the weak!

i am not scared of becoming an enemy of the whole world / as long as your gaze permits it.

won't you please hear my voice that hungers / for a duo?

-he has your eyes. -they are full of fear.

help me, bishamonten. i cannot understand people, no matter how hard i try.

wheeze through the night as my lungs burn inside / as i fake through the day that never subsides, if i / can't call to mind all the words or the lines, i'll try / to ride the train wherever it will go tonight.

you're not a soldier ant. there's no need for you to perform meaningless slaughter.

i will awaken the breath of the planet, for i walk with humanity.

you're not dead yet, so please howl out your thoughts.

i will awaken the breath of the planet, for i walk with humanity.

if our lives come to an end when we know the true motives of others then / let's talk until our tongues go dry.

like a bed of roses / there's a dozen reasons in this gun.

she was reborn in the fire. she was smiling in the fire.

this ain't a party / get off the dance floor! / you want the get down / here comes the gang war!

i will reverse all creations!
