“Nostalgia is a necessary thing, I believe, and a way for all of us to find peace in that which we have accomplished, or even failed to accomplish. At the same time, if nostalgia precipitates actions to return to that fabled, rosy-painted time, particularly in one who believes his life to be a failure, then it is an empty thing, doomed to produce nothing but frustration and an even greater sense of failure.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Streams of Silver

“You look just as I hoped you would.'

From the cobwebs of my memory, I recalled similar words Tamlin had once whispered in my ear. 'If this necessary?' I said, gesturing to the paint and clothing.

'Of course,' he said coolly. 'How else would I know if anyone touches you?'

He approached, and I braced myself as he ran a finger along my shoulder, smearing the paint. As soon as his finger left my skin, the paint fixed itself, returning the design to its original form. 'The dress itself won't mar it, and neither will your movements,' he said, his face close to mine. His teeth were far too near to my throat. 'And I'll remember precisely where my hands have been. But if anyone else touches you- let's say a certain High Lord who enjoys springtime- I'll know.' He flicked my nose. 'And, Feyre,' he added, his voice a caressing murmur, 'I don't like my belongings tampered with.'

Ice wrapped around my stomach. He owned me for a week every month. Apparently, he thought that extended to the rest of my life, too.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

There are no small words in the

By letting love reclaim our

The tip of the teeth.

Been in our throats.”

Shuya gulped. "Who to? The government?"

"Them too, of course." Kawada nodded. "But I'm asking if you're ready to kill your classmates - not if but when they attack us."

Shuya lowered his head a little, and when he spoke, his voice sounded feeble. "If it comes to that, I won't have any other choice."

"What if it's a girl?"

Shuya's lips tightened. His eyes went to Kawada and then back down. "I won't have any other choice."

"All right then. Just as long as we're clear." Kawada nodded and gripped the shotgun resting on his crossed legs. Then he added," If you're too busy getting all upset every time you kill someone, someone else will come along and kill you.”

“What's the point of this game? Is there a point to all this?"

Kawada's eyes widened a little, but then he looked down and let out a chuckle. He must have found the question pretty funny. Then finally, he said, "Of course there isn't."

"But," Noriko interjected, "don't they say it's necessary for national security?"

Keeping the amused smile, Kawada shook his head. "That's crazy talk. Although with how crazy this whole country is, maybe that's what passes for rational."

"Okay, fine." Shuya felt his anger rising. "Then why is it still happening?"

"That's simple. It keeps happening because nobody speaks up.”
