What? Getting sad again, are we?
The authority of the ancient dragons shall soon be yours once more, O Hydro Dragon Sovereign, and this is the face you make? Hehe...

There's no more disgusting phrase in all the world. It's used to displace your suffering onto others so you can escape your sins...
The moment you employ it, your suffering becomes the other person's. A thing can be unforgivable, but oh, if they apologize...

Thanks a lot, "Alvis".

I will admit...I am jealous of you.
You have my face, but you say the things you feel...out loud.
I am not allowed to show fear. If I say I am afraid, I will be labeled a defect.
I follow orders. I don't think. I am like the Corrupted. They are awful.

It's unfortunate that Lyney's so eager to prove himself that he can't learn to rely on others... including me.

Hahaha... oh, Tenmyouji. I can almost see you... You don't need to worry.
Everything's going to be okay. I will see you again one day. I promise.
But I'm going to have to ask you to wait just a little longer.

Everyone has something to live for. Even Kainé.
...Even Yonah.

I told the boy that I'd bring him some food the next day at the same time and place. He finally nodded when I said that. It made me happy. I felt like I was doing something right, helping this boy. Like I was the only one who'd do that.

I began to think of you as my one true sister...
Even now, the memory of our time at Lythos Castle...is priceless to me.
But that treasure is a stolen one. And this pain...
This pain is unbearable. So please... Please put an end to my misery.

Egeria stole the power of the Primordial Sea, and the Heavenly Principles stole the power you ancient dragons possessed.
I, for my part, am the God of Justice. And is it not just that your original powers should be returned to you?

Clervie was happy here... for a time. But, she quickly realized that being part of this "family"... wasn't a fairytale at all. It was a kind of purgatory.

I never did forget your gift of sight.

Time moves on. People and memories come in and out of a life like ghosts passing through a hall. "But this moment will be different," Kainé swore, "because I will remember it forever."
"...Forever."

Have the courage to think and act on your own.
And have the courage to disobey.

A dream is like an oasis in one's soul... It quenches the thirst of travelers exhausted from life's journey.
But pleasant though the oasis may be... The travelers must continue the journey.
We must all cross the desert of reality, no matter how harsh it becomes...

"If you hate it so much... If you really hate this world... Why aren't you trying to tear it down yourself? Change it with your own hands!"
"I told you, I'll wreck every last thing—"
"You can do it differently! There's still a way you can change! And that way, the world will fall away by itself."

Your attempts to expose Clervie to sunlight... They failed, yes? The reason is actually quite simple. In Clervie's mind, the House is impossible to escape, and it is this very perception that traps her there.

Freminet.
You remember what I told you? You're not like me — your lying skills still need some work.
Tell me what's going on. Is it really bad enough that you have to keep it from your own brother?

I must protect Shion, no matter what.
His will is irrelevant to me.

"By the way, Date."
"Hm?"
"I admit, it is useful. Every now and then."
"What is?"
"Your... Intuition."

All of those memories are... treasures... to me... But I also wanted to... go to a lot of other places with you... A lot more... But... that... won't happen... now...

Gate of Steiner @audgate.bsky.social · 11h

Yonah... All I brought you was pain. Years of painful, lingering memories...
I couldn't do it. I couldn't rescue you.
I'm so sorry. I failed. Your brother failed.

To be truthful, I am terrified without you,
even now, as a grown woman.

I force myself onward, but any confidence I show
is hollow deception.

Every pause, every quiet moment,
I feel ready to fall to my knees and wait
as I did back then...

Gate of Steiner @audgate.bsky.social · 12h

No! I refuse to abandon these people now!
You told me once that my eyes had value, and I shouldn't be afraid of them!
You told me that even a life such as mine had purpose!
I won't just sit around and let you fight while I stay behind!
