* ''Fanfic/AGameOfCatAndCat'': The second chapter's {{Epigraph}} is from the FictionalDocument ''How to Survive the End of the World'':
--> "Justice is an integral pillar of society; one does not comprehend how important it is for wrongs to be righted until they have no one to depend upon save themselves. When someone else inevitably attempts to fill that void, endeavor to aid them in their mission. However, know that they are just as human and fallible as you, and that power will corrupt them. It is your responsibility to both aid and check them."\\
-How to Survive the End of the World, by Kazuya Kawamoto. Chapter 10: Living with Other People. The rest of the passage was inarticulate ranting about how he never deserved to be arrested, not even for taking bribes.
