“I thought we’re friends.”

“Of all the people betraying me in my life, I would have never thought you were one of them.”

“I told you from the very start: trust no one. Not even me.”

“I hope you’re proud of yourself.”

“You’re so stupid. You really thought we’re friends?”

“Good to know how much I really meant to you.”

“I trusted you, I told you everything, I opened up to you - and you betray me?”

“And here I thought I could trust you. I’ve never been so wrong in my life.”

“You. You of all people.”

“After everything we went through together.. “

“We were never friends, it was just something you made up.”

“Why? Why did you do it?”

“You have to understand - it’s nothing personal. Only business.”

“Wait. What do you mean you—?”

❝ courage need not be remembered, for it is never forgotten. ❞

❝ you’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you? ❞

❝ am i so beautiful that you’ve got no words left? ❞

❝ forgive me. i’m a coward at heart. ❞ 

❝ you and i aren’t as different as we thought. ❞ 

❝ this time, we fight together. ❞ 

❝ if all else fails, use fire. ❞ 

❝ the history of light and shadow will be written in blood. ❞

❝ what makes you happy… does it make others happy, too? ❞

❝ it’s a secret to everybody. ❞

❝ do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls? ❞ 

❝ tell them the war has ended. ❞ 

❝ many years ago, i felt so free… ❞ 

❝ we all deserve a happy ending, don’t we? ❞ 

❝ they were all good people…my people. ❞ 

❝ be careful about going around judging people by their appearance. ❞ 

❝ may the winds of fortune be at your back. ❞ 

❝ you have great eyes. they’re proud and wild…like a feral beast. ❞

❝ no matter what, a fake is a fake, and no matter how much you try to dress it up, the real thing always wins . ❞

❝ guess what? you got it for free. are you proud of yourself? ❞

❝ your true face… what kind of face is it? i wonder… the face under the mask… is that your true face? ❞

❝ you’re the bad guy. and when you’re bad, you just run. ❞ 

❝ you’ll come with me, won’t you? ❞

❝ this is your fate. don’t feel discouraged, even in the darkest of times. ❞ 

❝ may we meet again in another life. ❞

❝ you don’t have to look so sad. ❞

❝ everything. everything i’ve done up until now…it was all for nothing.. ❞

❝ i wonder, if you do the right thing, does it really make everyone happy? ❞

❝ whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. ❞

❝ those who do not know the danger of wielding power will, before long, be ruled by it. ❞

❝ your friends… what kind of people are they? do these people think of you as a friend? ❞

❝ the flow of time is always cruel. ❞

❝ my bloodline endures the ravages of all the years. it survives. ❞ 

❝ the sight of your appalling hair makes my gorge rise. ❞ 

❝ we are fine here. we will greet the morning together. ❞ 

❝ i really am just a failure. ❞ 

❝ it’s dangerous to go alone. take me. ❞ 

❝ conquer yourself. ❞ 

❝ even though it was only a short time, i feel like i’ve known you forever. ❞

❝ it’s time for me to make up for my mistakes. ❞ 

❝ people are disgusting. my own father and mother are disgusting. you must be disgusting too. ❞ 

❝ there are some things in life you can’t change no matter how hard you try. ❞

❝ thought i chose the thief’s life, but it really chose me. ❞ 

❝ i’m not doing anything suspicious. really! ❞

❝ forgive your friend. ❞ 

❝ a man is an animal, too. ❞

❝ oceans…oceans…oceans as far as the eye can see. ❞

❝ heroes fade eventually but legends never die. ❞

❝ please…heal my sorrows. ❞

❝ i grant my eternal love to you. ❞

❝ he who wields such power would make a suitable king for this world, don’t you think? ❞

❝ i always believed you would come…because i know you. ❞

❝ it is destiny that you and i can’t live in the same world. ❞

❝ shadow and light are two sides of the same coin. one cannot exist without the other. ❞

❝ your slumber these past moons must have been restless and full of nightmares. ❞

❝ your gods have destroyed you. ❞

❝ your words are kind and your heart is true. ❞

❝ i believe this is what you call…happiness. ❞ 

❝ the mortal blow puts your life on the line. ❞ 

❝ your ears will bleed from the sounds of your own screams. ❞

❝ i consider the time spent with you some of the most special memories i have. ❞

❝ a sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage. ❞

❝ you fight like no man or demon i have ever known. ❞

❝ the thousand years of raindrops are my tears. ❞

❝ time passes, people move…like a river’s flow, it never ends. ❞ 

❝ it seems shadow has been moved by light. ❞

❝ the thunder that strikes the earth is my anger. ❞

❝ to tell you the truth, I’m feeling a bit frustrated, and right now I just need someone to vent to. ❞

❝ isn’t it petty? little battles like this? ❞ 

❝ wait! do not be so hasty. ❞ 

❝ a thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days. ❞

❝ don’t ever forget me. if you do, i’ll never forgive you. ❞

❝ if it is something that can be stopped, then just try to stop it. ❞

❝ my hate never perishes. it is born anew in a cycle with no end . ❞

❝ we’ll be friends forever, won’t we? ❞

❝ do you have any idea how that made me feel inside? Furious. Outraged. ❞

❝ i’ve taken all that you had to give… though I did not want it . ❞

❝ i follow the strongest side. that is all i have ever known. ❞

❝ he wasn’t talking about strength, like lifting stuff. he was talking about being brave. ❞
