"You have no hold over me."

"I hope you got what you wanted."

"I'm sorry that I caused you so much pain, and I'm sorry to bring you down again."

"How can any man be so blind?"

"If you feel safer keeping to yourself, placing trust in no one, I won't cry."

"Take my reputation. Ain't worth much and it's all right."

"But if you feel better, I don't mind."

"How do I save you from a fate so sweet as being torn to pieces by a loving hand?"

"How do I look upon the eyes I love and send them down this path; I know it isn't right?"

"Behind the curtain waits a darker world."

"If I can't make you leave, how can I save you from me?"

"Can you not recognize a soul already sold?"

"I can't deny the past, it's written on my face."

"I'm far too tired to stay here anymore, and I don't care what you think anyway."

"'Cause I think you were wrong about me."

"What if I'm the kindest demon? Something you may not believe in."

"Tell me what I am all about, and I just might learn a thing or two hundred about you."

"You cannot stand to believe I'm not the perfect girl you thought."

"Free will is overrated."

"I'm hungry! Some blood would hit the spot!"

"Vampire vs vampire. No bullets, just human blood, and a soundtrack of screams!"

"Life will seem brighter. You'll feel better. But only if you feel the sadness now."

"You say nobody knows you. But you don't know yourself!"

"No happy endings for us! None at all..."

"Would you mind killing me with it?"

"Can you even call him a 'person' anymore?"

"I never wanted this kind of power!"

"Thank you for reaching out, and taking my hand."

"I hate sweat, guts, and hard work. In other words... you."

"I want to get tough and be a real partner to him!"

"It's your punishment for breaking the rules."

"My job is making them comfortable. Even vampires."

"Look at me, guys, my cuteness will calm you."

"Forget what I said. I'm gone."

"I'm your partner, and I'm always here to help you out. Don't forget that!"

"You trust that thing too much. He's not your friend."

"A world of hate is a sad, sad place."

"I thought that... you... might wanna eat me."

"You little--! You cut off my arm again!"

"Go home, kid. Vampires are about."

"Is it alright to just stay here in this safe garden forever?"

"You erased my memories!"

"I'm the vampire. Leave this to me."

"Why do I have to become a vampire?"

"Maybe we don't want to know. How would you like proof that you're a monster?"

"My real mother must have hated me. My birth hurt everybody."

"What if the old stories are true?"

"He's either dead, or he's... out there somewhere, seeing the world. But he's probably dead."

"When I was a kid, we'd go weeks without seeing a boat."

"We do not talk, think, discuss, contemplate, or go anywhere near the surface. Got it?"

"Wow. That was hard to watch."

"Now, walking is just like swimming. But without fins. Or a tail. And also there's no water. Otherwise, it's like the exact some thing."

"I don't know how to not think about something!"

"As you can see, I've been collecting for a long time, so ask me anything."

"Woah! You unbroke it!"

"You just sit on it, and it takes you anywhere you wanna go in the whole stinkin' world!"

"His life is maybe a little more important than your snacks."

"Thank you, but no thank you. I mean, I just think maybe I would die."

"I never go anywhere, I just dream about it."

"Sure there's no sunlight, but there's nothing to see anyway, or do. It's just you and your thoughts."

"I know you. And I know what's best for you."

"I love your stylish clothes. Where did you get them, a dead body?"

"I didn't quit, they made me stop!"

"You know, we underdogs have to look out for each other, right?"

"Every summer that jerk makes my life miserable, so no one's taking him down, unless it's me!"

"My family was going to send me somewhere horrible, away from everything I love."

"You guys want this just as bad as I do, you have the Hunger. That's the most important thing."

"What do you think he kills with those?"

"You want to work? I'll put you to work."

"Wow, we look horrifying."

"They don't love you, they're afraid of you!"

"I eat kids like you for breakfast."

"Ugh, rules are for... rule people."

"Well, at least you won. I think..."

"And every summer I come here, and everyone thinks I'm just some weird kid who doesn't belong."

"Sorry, too much? My mom says sometimes I'm too much."

"We don't need school. We don't need anybody."

"Why did you make him mad? We should've left!"

"Nothing's fine! My parents just saw me!"

"Look, this town is making you crazy."

"Do you think I want you to leave? This is the happiest I've--."

"I'm sorry. I never should've done that. I wish I could take it back."

"Yeah, whatever, you're sorry. Now just go away!"

"What are those marks on the wall? Tell me what they mean."

"You were living here alone for that many days?"

"I guess even your terrible friends don't want to be friends."

"So long, evil empire of injustice."

"Some people, they'll never accept him. But some will."

"We gotta fix this thing up before we take it across the entire world."

"Just remember, we are always here for you. Okay?"

"I promise I'm going to get you out of this aquarium."

"I thought I was going to drown."

"How am I talking underwater? How am I breathing?!"

"I'd give up my tail to be on land with you."

"I'd give up my legs to be in the sea with you."

"Careful, this necklace is the reason why I'm able to go on land."

"If you wear this amulet, you'll be able to breathe underwater."

"Are you really mermaid royalty?"

"If you keep me captive here, the ruler of the sea will crash your ship into the rocks."

"That tank looks really cramped."

"Please take me back to land, I can't stay out here forever."

"I used to be human, but my past self gave up my memories for this form."

"No, I don't have a dangerous magical voice, I just enjoy singing."

"Watch out! If I touch water, I'll revert back to my original form."

"Those people over there keep staring at me. I think they know my secret."

"Calm down, it's ok. Once you dry off, you'll change back to human and we'll get you home."

"I've been through so many experiments, please don't send me back to that lab."

"Please take me back to the ocean."

"I can't resist the ocean's call."

"My body is on land, but my heart belongs to the ocean."

"I can't let you go, these lab tests are going to lead to new scientific breakthroughs."

"How did you manage to get caught in such a huge net?"

"Stop struggling, having a mermaid is going to make me rich."

"I'm not removing the gag. You're not going to have the chance to enchant me with your voice."

"How do I know if you really love me, or you've just been brainwashed by my magic?"

"How can I tell if I actually love you, or your magic has just brainwashed me?"

"You killed my entire crew!"

“I just need a moment to quickly take down some notes.”

“Hey, do you think if an animal put a propeller on its back and started running... do you think the propeller would make it run faster? Or even fly?”

“Leave it to me! All of it, whatever it is! ...What... exactly is ‘it’?”

“We’re all connected through bonds of love, of friendship, of patience.”

“In the end, there were almost no survivors.”

“Don’t be afraid. We’re all on the same side for now. Aren’t we?”

“She talks to the dead for real. Touches them with her head.”

“It’s foul. Cramped. Suffocating. Too high, too concrete. But safe.”

“And in that brief night, something will be irretrievably lost.”

“Well...? Satisfied with your boasting?”

“No type of medicine will help you here.”

“The air’s thick here in September; breathe in too deep and you’ll pass out.”

“I gave everything I had, even my own entrails.”

“She is not human, after all.”

“But love does drive her, like it drives... you. And love is blind and foolish.”

“It was I who loved him. I was not loved in return, for he regretted me coming into being... I reminded him of his bitter sin.”

“They believe they come here for advice. False. They have long since made up their minds.”

“Oh sure, I’ve got insight. Got everything in sight.”

“Gotta think with your stomach some of the time.”

“You can’t be everywhere. You can’t save everyone.”

“What do you even want, big man? Have you come to drag us home?”

“The crows being so numerous this year are a bad omen.”

“Grief comes in spades these days.”

“If somebody you know is planning to murder a person, even a villain... then there’s something wrong with them.”

“A life led with purpose never ends with death. Death only comes to those who live pointlessly.”

“The bolder the dream, the more surely it becomes dust when the moment is lost.”

“I’ve been standing here waiting for you to pass by like an idiot.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be terribly busy? I don’t understand why you keep coming.”

“It’s just that sometimes you feel, all too poignantly, that your life is over. You’re not even thirty, but your life is over, you’re done. Not dead, but burnt through... and there’s nothing ahead for you.”

“No one enters this house uninvited. Get lost.”

“Looks like our troubles hunt in packs.”

“Long tongues lead to short lives.”

“Never took blood, but I dressed for a red harvest. How it bloomed...”

“You will take his fate into your hands, and he will die.”

“Don’t take too much on, or you’ll snap like a rotten bough.”

“Earth takes her due, but gives in kind.”

“Just mind this: when you finally remember; when you realize why you need me, do not hold a grudge, either. Promise?”

“This place has been picked clean. Nothing more to loot.”

“Haven’t you been outside? The air’s no longer fit to breathe.”

“Everyone who got sick died. No survivors.”

“It might take time to figure out what is happening. But it will all start coming together soon.”

“This is our second attempt... and a second failure.”

“It’s transmitted through air, saliva, touch, and God knows what else!”

“You’re the person I was very wrong to put my hopes on, the person who let me down.”

“You’ve walked past your goal. Not for the first time, and certainly not for the last.”

“You don’t actually have to kill everyone who bothers you!”

“You can’t bring about good fortune--but you can craft it, like this handwoven charm.”

“People in this town are like a flight of birds, and birds don’t require names.”

“Stale bread is bad news. It doesn’t breathe.”

“One must recall that which is most dear to them before the match burns out, or the whole thing won’t work.”

“The game goes like this: find a nut that has traveled far, guess its name, shake it, and listen to stories from the soul trapped inside.”

“There are no chestnut trees around, yet chestnuts are pervasive.”

“I know everything. Part of the unfortunate job. I’ve got your whole journey laid out here.”

“Persistent, huh? Good. Maybe you’ll even survive a day or two this way.”

“Got a bite? Birdseed’s fine.”

“You knew the victim--less than you thought, but more than most.”

“Be quiet! He must not hear your voice, lean close...”

“Will you stop hovering over the girl? You won’t comfort her, you’re only making it worse!”

“You poor thing... we still think you’re good.”

“The autumn is foul this year. People have gone mad.”

“Couldn’t you have gotten here, say, yesterday? Everything would be different then.”

“Why are you covered in blood?”

“Time is slipping through our fingers. We must act now.”

“Anyway, he thinks you’re to blame for your father’s death.”

“Take care of yourself.”

“There are ferrymen in the town. They’re waiting for me.”

“They couldn’t suspect me of patricide, could they? Of course not. Impossible.”

“Yeah, he’s in there. I hereby grant you every right to throw something at him, if you so desire.”

“Stop bleeding, and you stop death--or delay it at least.”

“The murders happened at night. You arrived in the morning.”

“Come closer. Stand in front of me. And wait.”

“The Earth is breathing. Listen to it. Stand still and listen.”

“Watch the herbs grow. Listen to them sing.”

“I’ve no use for money. Not like it buys anything here.”

“There’s a hunt going on, looking for a person with my features.”

“You know what? You aren’t going anywhere--I won’t let you. Take a look at yourself.”

“Come to think of it, keep your hands off anything here.”

“That’s where I was killed, with my own knife, no less.”

“He who denies fate will be punished.”

“Just because you have a hammer doesn’t mean every problem’s a nail.”

“One sparrow isn’t enough to feed twelve mouths.”

“Something’s fumbling around, I hear it. What if it’s... the thing?”

“See? I’m not holding you back. Let each of us find our own path.”

“The less you do, the less grief you’ll bring to those around you.”

“Trust me, will you? I’m your sister. Your double.”

“I didn’t even need to see the blood. Your butcher’s eyes told me everything...”

“Folks here believe that any affliction can be smothered in bandages, and any decently soft cloth can serve as one.”

“Gotta say, it’s a tough time for our friendship--I mean, if you can even call this friendship.”

“Finally, we’re back together. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“We each have a Half, besides our own soul.”

“But you can’t hurt them. They just wipe the blood away and keep going.”

“Don’t go singing my praises just yet. I let your poisoner go.”

“...he meant nothing to you then? Great.”

“Chalk, composed of the dead bodies of sea creatures, is a good tool for setting boundaries.”

“A person is only alive for as long as they feel pain.”

“Don’t go in there buddy. If you do, you won’t come out.”

“Your time is short, and no one knows what tide tomorrow brings.”

“You’re quite the sleeper, human.”

“I love chowing down after a job! It adds to the flavor, I swear.”

“Any way I look at it, it’s obvious that you’re no ordinary Joe.”

“Yeeeeeaaah! I’m burning now! I’m on fire! It’s full-throttle time!”

“It won’t stop squirming.”

“We’re no robbers! We’re kidnappers! Get it? Kidnappers!”

“Where did those two bring me?”

“I know I’m imposing, but I don’t have anyone else I can turn to.”

“We mustn’t allow thugs to do as they wish.”

“I’m not the type that does his thinking in the head, so I’m stumped by stuff like this.”

“I must commend you for a battle well-played.”

“If you’re thinking about going on, you should be careful.”

“That place is filled with thugs, and other nasty people.”

“Usually they’d have at least one channel showing anime or something.”

“We’ve finally found you! You filthy, double-crossing traitor!”

“You mean to tell me you were bested by these darling infants?”

“Let the music spin! Let’s get it on!”

“Sorry to break it to you, but I’m not about to let you pass.”

“If you don’t want to get hurt, you should get lost, and quick.”

“I couldn’t guarantee your safety if anything were to happen.”

“It’s my job to uphold the peace in this town!”

“Um... I’m the lookout! Nobody is supposed to get by me!”

“You’re quite the hottie.”

“I tried to leave town afterwards and that’s when those creeps grabbed me.”

“Even at the best of times, there’s nothing normal about this town.”

“You can’t even see the bottom from here.”

“And it’s not just once either. It was the time before, and the time before that, too!”

“This is perking up my spirit and body! Oh, I feel like dancing!”

“Save your dancing until our plan succeeds.”

“I heard you entered this building. It had me worried.”

“You’ve got to get everyone out to safety.”

“What do you think you’re doing here?!”

“Abnormality detected! Target locked on!”

“This wasn’t good enough...”

“This is a dilemma...”

“The end is always so cruelly pitiless...”

“Now what compels someone like you to come here just for the sake of getting thrashed by me?”

“We’ve just captured an intruder.”

“What made you think that you could simply waltz in here?”

“Taking a hostage is perfectly fine as a bargaining tactic.”

“You might be our enemy, but you have my respect.”

“I’m supposed to beat someone as strong as you? They must be joking!”

“You ruined all my hopes of getting a promotion.”

“Yeah, woot! It’s about time, darlings!”

“I’m so frightfully tired of waiting for you.”

“Oh you kept me waiting for so long, I decided to work up a little perspiration!”

“There’s time for one last frantic dance before the grand finale!”

“Don’t you dare think you’ll get away with your latest outrage!”

“We’re all unharmed. That’s good enough.”

“There is but nothing that eludes the notice of my fortune-telling.”

“The air tastes a lot different here.”

“On the way here, I was abducted by these creepy people.”

“Although you may ask why we are here, we simply cannot answer that.”

“Please don’t do anything so rash and dangerous again.”
