My own pathetic figure writhing on the floor, crying for Tosya. The smell of gasoline inside a pitch-black body shop. A shattered window leaving painful cuts. Apologising to everyone's parents. My dad getting fed up with my hysterics. My mother's sad, embarrassed face.

I am solitary lights in an empty city.
What are you?

I was *created* to be a friend!
And I shall fulfill my destiny!
I shall know her and she shall know me and we will be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!

Now this is just absolute bullshit. Can't even walk across a room now without being plunged into an abyss!

I like how well your skin pulls across your skull.

"I only meant that if I had the opportunity to do so again, I should save every life that I could save, even if I had to place myself in danger to do so." Her voice trembled.
"Is that because you are especially heroic or because you think other people matter more than you do?" Poirot asked her.

Why try so hard anyway? What's the point in sticking around for people?
She'd have so much freedom without G-Ma in her life.
And without Cody she'd be freed from the pain of abandonment.
And without her, everyone would be free from the biggest Loser in Hella City...

Panic! In static! Out-manic! Don't you find it all romantic, the way things used to be? Classic, ecstatic, it's magic To trip the light fantastic, repeat it after me!

i can't quite make it out

I feel so cold. Is it because you're gone?

After all, she is certain they will leave her eventually— everyone always does.

I don't know what to do. I can't think well, I feel strange. I'm hiding from that thing.

I feel like something is growing on my skin.

I can't seem to tear it off fast enough, and I'm losing a lot of blood...

So if you do like I do!
So if you do like me!
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key!
Oh, damn, suddenly we're free to fly!
We're going to the other side!

There's fire, there are jacks that get thrown across the stage!
Eh- there is a large ape.
... Again, I could not categorize that, but I know he shouldn't have been there!

I did the deal, Amanda. It's over.
Baby, we get out. Be happy. Be normal!

'This is a bad place. We're supposed to be together, but it keeps making us hurt each other.'
The torch falls from the Princess' hand and bounces down the stairs.
'It'll be so much better when it's gone.'

What is seen in shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child.

Don't resist, you won't be missed...

You should've died to protect me.

It's laced with drugs.
They think I'm a cop?
...They think I'm a cop and cops can't use drugs when undercover?

Or... Is something wrong with you?
Yeah, something's definitely wrong.
And no God can fix that.

That was a great, inspiring legend...
That you made up.

I fall. It's like a dream.
The same as when I'm just about to fall and suddenly my body drops. Or like I missed an extra step while going down a staircase. But that's unfair.
I was just looking at the ground.
I was looking straight down, at the soil.

Why did I fall? I was so cautious.

The things I can't undo... I am not the man you knew! I know that you've been waiting, waiting!

Isn't it funny how everyone you get close to ends up leaving?

Note: it's always too late to attend service.
you can sneak in, but that's a bad idea.

I don't want to forget you, Jesse.
I don't want to forget our time together.

I just *really* don't want customers to have to look at that soulless, gaping grin of yours.

Where did you end and I begin? When you felt what it was to be me, we held on to each other and pierced the veil of truth. Will you abandon that curiosity now that we are no longer joined in physicality?

This is an oppressive place. The air feels heavy and damp, a hint of rot filtering from the ancient wood. If the Princess really lives here, slaying her is probably doing her a favor.
