''I’m sorry…I’m sorry…It’s for the island…to save Eldia, but that’s not all. The reality beyond the walls, was nothing like the world I dreamt of…It was nothing like the world I’d seen in Armin’s book. When I learned that humanity had survived beyond the walls….I was…so disappointed, I wished…for everything to be wiped away. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry…I’m so sorry!
— Eren Jeager, Attack on Titan
On occasions of festivity to be on the left hand is the prized position; on occasions of mourning, the right hand. The second in command of the army has his place on the left; the general commanding in chief has his on the right;--his place, that is, is assigned to him as in the rites of mourning. He who has killed multitudes of men should weep for them with the bitterest grief; and the victor in battle has his place (rightly) according to those rites."
— Laozi
I never kill'd a mouse, nor hurt a fly:

I trod upon a worm against my will,
But I wept for it.
—Marina, Pericles, Prince of Tyre

*sobbing* Pooh, you gotta help me find Tigger! It's All My Fault! He never would've left if it wasn't cause of me. I didn't mean to make him feel bad. I just...I just wanted him to be my big brother...

Cry, cry as much as you wish. Someday that resentment will become your fangs.
