'''Dario Agger:''' Oh...I could make a speech, I suppose. Some Roxxtube-ready blather -- pop-fascism for the rubes and the tech bros. I could blame my tragic childhood or the lust for blood and cruelty that never abates...or revenge, of course... You'd believe revenge... But the truth, Thor? Absolute and unvarnished? I like it when the number goes up. That's all. Because that means I win. That means I'm better. And that's all there is.

->'''Emil:''' Alice, are you doing all this because you were mistreated for being a half-elf? Or is it because your parents were killed by monsters?\\
''[beat]''
'''Alice:''' ''[giggles]'' Don't be ridiculous! You've done your homework, I'll give you that. But I don't care about what happened in my childhood and avenging my parents is the furthest thing from my mind.\\
'''Marta:''' You don't have to act so tough.\\
'''Alice:''' Aren't you the one who's acting tough, [[TermsOfEndangerment Martmart]]? Of course I hate the Church of Martel and the monsters who killed my parents. But if you want to change the world, ultimately, you have to change yourself. If the world wants to give me misfortune, I'll just give misfortune back to the world. That's all.

->''There are no skeletons in my closet, no abusive childhood or inciting misery that might expiate my vile behavior. Nor am I insane. I know the difference between good and evil. And I am fully capable of empathizing with the pain, emotional or physical, of others. No sociopath, I. Rather, I simply prefer bad over good. Wrong over right. Dirty over clean. Sick over healthy. Untrue over true.''

'''Mirror Margaret:''' [''shoots Linkara''] I am not your failure. How dare you take my choices and make them your fault. How arrogant are you? He didn't take me. He didn't do anything to me. I picked ''him'' because he was a useful tool. Nothing more!

I think they wish to find something in [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall this story]] that explains things - some moment of decision, some choice that could later be regretted or accounted for.

If I were in any way influenced by your parenting skills, I’d be sucking dick on a street corner, begging every man who smacks my face to let me call him 'Daddy'. Everything I am is down to me. You think I regret anything I’ve done? The lives I’ve destroyed, the people I’ve killed? I’ve always done exactly what I wanted to do. And as for you - you are naught but shit on my shoe, and today is the day that I finally wipe you off."''

-> '''[[MadScientist Dorothea]]:''' Long ago, there was a group of intellectuals who sought to discover the secrets of the world. The Empire tried to commission them, but they refused, not wanting their work to be controlled. After that, they were classified as a cult and hunted down one by one. They all died…except for one young girl who alluded them and fled to another country.\\
'''Akame:''' Has that been your true goal all along? You want revenge against the Empire for slaughtering them. You want to destroy it.\\
'''Dorothea:''' Not quite. While giving this disgusting Empire its just desserts would be deserved, I don't really care. As of now, the Empire is more useful to me when it's up and running. Getting retribution for my ancestors was never a goal of mine.
