3'''Edward Dakota:''' Well I was trained to tell her lots of things. Her dreams and all the people who'd miss her. But for a second, I hesitated. And she saw it. Within that second, I couldn't think of honestly one optimistic thing to say to her. So she spread her arms and jumped. I started getting headaches, and eventually started blacking out. So I filed for medical.

14->'''Gloria Rush:''' What have you become, Nicholas? The things you've done... it's not who you are, it's not you.\
15'''Nicholas Rush:''' I always had it in me. To make the... hard decisions. I have reasons... good reasons...\
16'''Gloria Rush:''' To hurt people? Are you sure? You tell yourself my death gave you courage. In truth it made you callous. You're not the man I loved.\

24->''Once upon a time the world was simple. There were heroes and there were villains and bad things only happened to bad people. And then Doomsday came. "Luckily", I survived the attack, but by then I'd come to realize-- that sometimes the bad can even afflict the good. And that while we may believe in heroes, there really is no such thing.''

27->''Not getting invited to that party set me over the edge. I was that girl's only friend in class, and I wasn't even good enough to get invited to her birthday party. It wasn't about the party, though; it was about [[FalseFriend what that meant]]. The way [[KickTheDog she laughed and smiled at me]], it filled me with anger I had never experienced before. To her, I was just scum. I was just someone she could dispose of. "(slightly LaughingMad) So that's how it is. I've been so blind. There's no such thing as friends. All people do is take, take, take. No-one's gonna take anything from ''me'' anymore!" And just like that, my world was closed off. I was fundamentally broken. I stopped ageing mentally, in fact. Until [[FriendshipMoment someone showed me what true friendship was]], I would remain there for a long time. I was so messed up in the head that just the sight of happy people or friendships filled me with rage and disgust. Now, there is still a part of me deep, deep down that still wanted friendship, but over and over... [...] people kept proving me wrong. [[TheWoobie Did I only exist to be everyone's punching bag?]] Someone has to be the loser, so I guess that was my role. I only existed so others could feel better about themselves. If that was the case, I'd rather just disappear. If no one wanted me, I didn't want anyone either.''
