4->'''Rentarou:''' So what if she's not very good at speaking?! What is that supposed to matter?! I love Shizuka-chan precisely ''because'' of who she is! She doesn't need to be like anybody else?\
5'''Shizuka's mother:''' Don't you understand how selfish it is to be forcing your own values on her like that?!\
6'''Rentarou:''' ''You're'' the one pushing her to be "like everyone else"! That's ''your'' value! I can promise it's not Shizuka-chan's! Even when Shizuka-chan is with "everyone else", none of whom are "like her", she never stops smiling! She's always having fun! '''What exactly makes you think Shizuka-chan... ''wants'' to be like everyone else?! Has she ever once told you that she does...?!'''

92Kaji winced. He smoothed his expression back out and said, "It's just words, Asuka. Words are easy to say. They're a lot harder to really mean. How can you possibly know if it's true, and will be for as long as you’re talking about?"\
93"I believe him," Asuka stated with utter conviction.\
94"Just words," Shinji suddenly said, his voice cold and fixing Kaji with another harsh stare that made him think of how much Shinji resembled his father. "Just words... [[CannotSpitItOut have you said them to Misato-san?]]"\

99'''Motoko''': I was trying to defend my friends.\
100'''Tsuruko''': Defend your friends, you say. Was it worth getting arrested and shaming your family and school?\
101'''Motoko''': I had to do it. Urashima made them cry, I couldn't let him get away with it.\
102'''Tsuruko''': [''sighs''] Motoko, I was told by Haruka that she told you not to do anything until she figured things out and she told me that you ignored her and took matters on your own. Why?\
103'''Motoko''': If I did that, it would have been like I was not doing anything for Sachiyo, Emi, and Kikuko. You weren't there when they gave me the looks on their faces. I have always defended them whenever a perverted male bothered them, it was no different with Urashima and if I started now to not take action, it would have been like my conviction would have been for nothing.\
104'''Tsuruko''': But look at what your so-called conviction has gotten you. I can't believe that you would do something so foolish just to satisfy those three girls.\
105'''Motoko''': There are my friends, sister.\
106'''Tsuruko''': Really? Let me ask you something. [[FairWeatherFriend Were they there for you after you lost to Keitaro Urashima?]]\

120'''Tanjiro''': Why did you want to get it back?\

124->'''Yugi:''' I'll tell you past events of your timeline, but I won't tell you the possible futures.\
125'''Yusei:''' Why? If you could save someone's life, why wouldn't you?\
126'''Yugi:''' Because you stop living your life, that's why. Some people with bad news give up, let it happen, and wallow in their own bad luck. Others strive to turn it around and make a better outcome. Your life is made up of choices. You make a choice and that choice results in an event. If I stop you and tell you what each event is, can you say you're living your life? Are you learning anything? Standing on your own at all? Then there's the mess of "What makes you so special, Yusei?". Why should I ''only'' tell you the future events and no one else? It's like children playing with dolls. Have you ever watched them? They put the dolls at the table in clothes they pick, act out whole conversations through the dolls. Does that make those dolls people? If not, why? What would make the living any different than those dolls if I spent all my time giving people a running commentary of what's about to happen?

149->"Have you ever questioned Ronan, or his superiors? Have you ever asked yourself if they had your best interests in mind?"\
150"I have asked questions of Lord Ronan when things were unclear to me," she said. "As for having my best interests in mind, I repeat: I enjoy my present status in society because of obeying his orders."\
151"So far," said Carol. "But what happens when they feel you’re just another piece of meat to throw to the dogs?"\
152Iva now definitely looked confused, and somewhat angry. "Explain yourself."\
153"Look at it this way. They’ve probably thrown a lot of sparring partners at you, just to see how fast and how well you could kill them. Correct?"\
154"Substantially, yes," said Iva.\
155"Now they’re matching you against me, just for the pleasure of the big boys," Carol continued. "Just for the pleasure of seeing me killed. Isn’t that right?"\
156"The basic idea of it is correct," Iva agreed.\
157"This has all been done to make you into the perfect fighting machine. Would you agree with that?"\
158Iva looked as though she were being drawn into a trap, but couldn’t bring herself to avoid it. "Not in those precise words, but the gist of it is valid."\
159"So what happens when they want an even more perfect fighting machine, and throw you to her as a sacrifice?"\
160Iva’s jaw was open. No sound came out.\
161"The Kree are very functionalistic," said Carol. "You’re only good to them until they can get somebody better. Once they do, or they think they do, they’ll see you as nothing but meat for the grinder. And somebody else will be using you as a hamburger."\
162She doubted that Iva knew exactly what a hamburger was. But she got the meaning of it. Iva was furious. For some reason, that heartened Carol.\
163"In the arena, you will beg me for your destruction," hissed the blue woman. "That is when your agonies will only have started."

189Jor took a step forward. "Are those your words or Zod's? Have you forgotten that Zod considered you a freak just like so many others? You are in that uniform not because of him but because of yourself and your father who believed in you." The words stunned Kara as she tried to maintain her calm. Zor-El was the one who told her she could do anything she wanted to and was the main reason she endured the insults and fights in the academy.

Staring seriously at her, Hiraguchi spoke firmly. "Sumire is likely to ask for some strange things in the coming days. Requests that will change how the two of you have lived your lives until now. I hope that you accept them."\
206With a strange fear gripping her heart, Kasumi found herself unable to nod her acceptance. She knew she should, for Sumire. But she didn't want to. Kasumi had loved her life until recently. Everything had been perfect. Up until Sumire had ran away from her on that rainy street.\
207"Does that scare the fearless Kasumi?" Hiraguchi asked teasingly, raising one eye in challenge.\
208"[[BluntYes …Yes.]]" She answered honestly her voice hoarse. "Why is this happening coach? Why is everything changing? It was all perfect before…"\
209"You should know I can't answer that question," Hiraguchi answered, a slight disapproving tone to her voice. "And who was it perfect for? You [[AlwaysSecondBest and Sumire]]? [[TheAce Or just you]]?"

212->“Thank you for saying that I really appreciate it…” She trailed off for a second, biting her lip anxiously. “But I still don’t think I agree with you. He might have gone about it the wrong way, but Doctor Maruki was just trying to help me! I don’t think he was manipulating me, not really.”\
213Akechi sighed and put [[FacePalm a hand to his face]] for a moment. He took a deep breath, then leant forward.\
214“I’m not trying to convince you. I don’t care, remember that okay? But do you want to hear what Maruki thinks of you? From the perspective of someone…less under his influence.”\
215There was something intense in Akechi’s eyes; something that made her nod her head, even though she wasn’t sure she wanted to know.\
216“Good. Then first I have to ask: you love your sister, right? You miss her?”\
217She nodded without thinking, a little offended that he needed to ask.\
218“Of course I do! Kasumi was my best friend in the world, how could I not miss her?”\
219He nodded thoughtfully and tapped his cheek.\
220“And you regret causing her death?”\
221She winced, and slumped down into her seat a little, but nodded anyway. [[JerkassHasAPoint It wasn’t like he was wrong]], it just still hurt to hear be [[BrutalHonesty said so bluntly]].\
222Akechi was still smiling, but his [[CheshireCatGrin expression turned dark]]. There was an edge of cruelty to it that made Sumire shrink further down into her seat.\
223“So then,” He said, baring his teeth slightly through his smile. “Why then, did she not return when Isshiki and Okumura did?”\
224Something broke.

227->Yu turned to head for the doorway. But before he reached it he heard Ren’s voice.\
228'''Ren''': NARUKAMI!\
229Yu looked over his shoulder to see the boy sitting there.\
230'''Ren''': I have a question… you’re heading home one night. Things are normal. Like they always are whenever you head back home from school- except this time you hear a woman crying for help. You turn the corner and you see her begging for a drunk and off-kilter man grabbing her and trying to force her into a vehicle. If you were a ‘good little boy’ you’d pay it no mind cause hey it’s none of your business right? But you’re not like that are you? You’d intervene. You’d tell the guy to back off and get him off the girl. There’s a tussle and the asshole winds up hurting himself. Except it turns out he’s a fucking high-time super rich politician with connections out the asshole and more money than you could hope for. He intimidates the woman, the person you tried to help, into basically telling the police a lie and saying you assaulted her. You get taken away. You’re given a criminal record. Your mother starts crying herself to sleep every night. Your former friends suddenly start to avoid you like the plague. You had a girl who liked you but now she’s terrified of you. Teachers start finding convenient excuses for you to go into study hall all so they don’t gotta put up with you. Pretty soon you’re a pariah on society all cause you played good Samaritan.\
231Naoto hid her eyes behind her hat as his story went on. She had read the police report on Amamiya and knew what he was talking about. Reading the statistics and basics of the crime on a paper was one thing but… hearing it from the horses mouth was something different. The simply brash and harsh tone of it all caused her stomach to almost wretch.\
232Everyone else likewise felt a very tangible air of uncomfortable atmosphere at hearing the story. Kanji grit his teeth in anger at the scenario. Yosuke just looked down and miserable, perhaps some part of the story reminding him of his own social ostracization. Rise just looked blank and hollow at the story while Yukiko was simply silent. Neither one of them could really process the emotions of what they were feeling or how they’d react if they were forced to go through it. Chie was stuck between anger and pity, unsure if she should be upset at herself or the situation. It was probably a good thing Teddie wasn’t here… he’d probably not understand any of it and just say something inappropriate.\
233'''Ren''': Tell me something Narukami, if you were in that situation? What would you have done differently from me?\
234Yu paused as he stared at the man for a long moment. Slowly the boy turned back to the doorway and said the only words that he rightfully could at the time.\
235'''Yu''': Not a whole lot to be honest.\
236And like that, Yu opened the door and left the room.

239->'''Lincoln''': Well what if the person doesn't want to be 'saved' in any way? I get what you're trying to do here, but is it really okay to force them to keep living? Again, why even bother with [Lyle]? Sure, he makes cool machines, but from what we've heard, he never really used them to help people.\
240'''Keenie''': Ah, but you see, by showing [Lyle] the worth of living, he'll be given the chance to use his creations for the betterment of mankind, ensuring his entrance into Heaven for all his good work.\
241'''Lincoln''': [[ArmorPiercingResponse Will it though]]?\
242'''Keenie''': ...E-Excuse me?\
243'''Lincoln''': Getting into Heaven sounds like a good thing, just about anyone would do whatever it takes to be good enough for it which is exactly the point, right? Lyle's work could be used to make people's lives better, so better that they'd be good enough for Heaven.

And I'm sure the first thing you did when you got here, James, was to gather everyone in a circle and tell them about the man you shot in cold blood the night before you got on the plane. So why don't we just skip the part where you two pretend to be righteous? I'm taking that medicine back to Claire, and you're going to let me. Because if she doesn't get it, she's going to die. And the last thing either of you need right now... is more blood on your hands.
