Cyrus/Quotes

These are Cyrus's quotes in the Pokémon games.
==In the core series==
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl===
;Mt. Coronet
:"According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded.. There should have been no strife. But what became of that world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has appeared... This world is being ruined by it... I find the state of things to be deplorable..."
;Celestic Town
:"There appears to have been an insignificant struggle here. Everyone should step back and view things from a bigger perspective. Yes, a bigger perspective, one that is on a universal scale. My name is Cyrus. I seek the power to create a new world, a world without strife. However that power seems to be unavailable here... We've met before, yes? It was at Mt. Coronet. If you discover any power derived from the legends of Sinnoh, inform me. For that power is what I need to create my new world."
;Team Galactic HQ
* Before battle
:"...I see. You must be the Trainer I've been hearing about. The foolhardy one that's trying to stand up to Team Galactic. Although I'd hardly expected to see that the Trainer is a mere child. I'd heard that our Commanders had a rough time with you..."
:"I know why you're here, I can sense it in you. It's about <sc></sc>, <sc></sc>, and <sc></sc>, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead, I could care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing of them. But I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they not? But still you came to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and lacking human heart. You were compelled to come here by vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!"
* After sending out last Pokémon
:"My last Pokémon."
* During battle (last Pokémon with less than half HP)
:"I see... I may lose if this pace continues..."
* Being defeated
:"Interesting. And quite curious."
* After being defeated
:"I see. You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion toward Pokémon. ...How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless sentimentality. ...But that doesn't matter. I doubt you will ever understand my position. That said, I recognize that you are strong and courageous to come alone. This is your reward."
:"The Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball. It will unfailingly catch any Pokémon in the wild. But it is not anything that I require. Unlike you Trainers, I do not make Pokémon my friends or partners. Unlike other Team Galactic members, I don't use Pokémon as tools. Instead, I make the power of Pokémon my own. If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. That's correct. Mt. Coronet. Where you and I first met. I will ascend the mountain to its peak and put an end to everything... No. I will bring about a new beginning for everything..."
;Spear Pillar
:"Now all will end. And everything will begin. With this Red Chain I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash all your power for me... <sc></sc>/<sc></sc> the mythical Pokémon and the master of time/space and dimensions! This will bring about the destruction of all things. With everything gone, there will be no fighting and no strife. Can you feel time distorting? Only I can choose to stop it/Feel the dimensions distorting... Only I can stop it. This is the mythical Pokémon that created Sinnoh! <sc>Dialga</sc>/<sc>Palkia</sc> the ancient deity of time/space and dimensions! This world cannot be molded into the ultimate world I seek! It's far easier to create an entirely new world than to change this one! A new world in which I am the ruler of all things! I shall become a deity!"
:"Oh! <sc>Dialga</sc>/<sc>Palkia</sc>... This is... Fantastic! Beautiful! It's the creating of a new galaxy! My new world! ... Wh-what?!"
* Before battle
:"The Red Chain! It crumbled away to nothing?! But why? Why would <sc></sc>, the Pokémon of Lake Verity, appear by your side? But never mind that! It's all destroyed! My galaxy is gone! I won't allow this... I will capture those three again and craft another Red Chain! But before I even think about that, I'm going to completely crush you!"
* After sending out last Pokémon
:"I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme."
* During battle (last Pokémon with less than half HP)
:"This... this cannot be! It's not possible that I lose!"
* Being defeated
:"I won't accept this! The power spoken of in mythology... I didn't just make it obey me, I made it my own!"
* After being defeated
:"What is truly ultimate to you? What do you consider perfection? The most important thing... What shines the brightest... Telling you is meaningless. But I will not give up. I will become a deity one day... And I will make the ultimate mine..."
===Pokémon Platinum===
;Lake Verity
:"...The flowing time... The expanding space... I will make it all mine one day... Cyrus is my name. Remember it... Until then, sleep while you can, legendary Pokémon of the lake bed...."
:"Allow me to pass. Step aside."
;Eterna City
:"...So, this is Eterna's Pokémon statue... Shaping our world are time and space in an intertwining spiral. Revered in Sinnoh are the Pokémon of time and space... Sinnoh's myth... Its truth needs investigation..."
:"...Pardon me. Stand aside."
:"..."
;Mt. Coronet
:"According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded... There should have been no strife. But what became of the world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has spread... This world is being ruined by it... I find this state of affairs deplorable..."
;
* Before battle
:"I would like to know more about that legend, if you will."
:"My name is Cyrus. I want to put an end to pointless strife and hostility. I am seeking the power to create the ideal world. Thus, I want you to answer. The world today can't change because the three Pokémon keep it in balance. Is that what you are saying?"
:"...Plead ignorance, will you? What a pointless attitude. You fail to appreciate that the world is incomplete. I will change the world. As the first step, I will destroy this cave painting that you've protected all these years. A new legend of a new world will take its place. Am I wrong? If you feel that way, challenge me."
::No: "...You chose to be a coward. How sensible of you. Stand aside and watch as I change the world."
::Yes: "...I know you, Trainer. We've met at Mt. Coronet. Why would you want to protect this incomplete world? As the boss of Team Galactic, I will show you the error of your ways."
* After sending out last Pokémon
:"You've forced my hand this time!"
* Being defeated
:"Impressive. Your prowess is notable."
* After being defeated
:"...Remarkable. But, Elder, your attitude told me what I needed to know. If the beings of time and space are brought together, they can't be stopped..."
;Team Galactic HQ
:"Fellow members of Team Galactic! Hear me! My name, as I appear to you today, is Cyrus. This world of ours is a crude one. In a word, it is incomplete. It has been, and always will be, a struggle to survive in this world. We humans and Pokémon are likewise incomplete. Because we are all so lacking, we fight, we maim... It is ugly. I hate the incompleteness. That we are all incomplete, I hate it with my entire body and being. The world should be complete. The world must change. Then, who will change it? Me, Cyrus. And Team Galactic. Yes, all of you. Together we pored over myths and exposed their secrets. Together we captured legendary Pokémon. And now, Team Galactic has obtained the energy to change the world! The power of dreams is within our grasp! Understand it, fellow members! My long-held dreamworld is on the verge of becoming reality. All those headed to Mt. Coronet, and those who remain here... Though our missions may differ, our hearts beat as one. Let there be glory for Team Galactic!"
* Before battle
:"...So you've come. You heard my speech, I take it. Snicker... A big lie, of course. It's true, insofar as my intention is to create a new world. But that world isn't for the likes of Team Galactic. I seek an entirely new world solely for myself. If not, it could never be the complete and perfect world. You've seen my minions of Team Galactic. You yourself must know that they are uniformly useless and incomplete."
:"I know why you're here. I can sense it in you. It's about <sc></sc>, <sc></sc>, and <sc></sc>, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead. I couldn't care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing them."
:"But, I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they? But still you come to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and faulty human heart. You were compelled to come here by such vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!"
* After sending out last Pokémon
:"My last Pokémon."
* During battle (last Pokémon with less than half HP)
:"I see... I may lose if this pace continues..."
* Being defeated
:"Interesting. And quite curious."
* After being defeated
:"I see... You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion towards Pokémon."
:"...How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless as sentimentality."

:"If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. I will ascend the mountain to its peak where destiny awaits me. It is there that I will create my new world..."
;Spear Pillar
:"... ... Everything is ready for the creation of a new world. Now, all will end. And everything will begin. With this, the Red Chain made from the crystals of the three lake Pokémon. And this, the Red Chain I replicated with technological means... With these Red Chains I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash your power for me..."
:"<sc></sc>, the mythical Pokémon, and the master of time! ...And the other. <sc></sc>, the mythical Pokémon, and the master of space and dimensions!"
:"I've waited so long for this moment, <sc>Dialga</sc> and <sc>Palkia</sc>. Shaping this world is a double spiral of time and space. Yes, the very things that you have the ability to control! You will do my bidding! I will have your abilities as mine! With the power I wield, I will create an entirely new world! The incomplete and ugly world we have now can disappear. I am resetting everything to zero. Nothing can remain. It is all for making the ultimate world. A world of complete perfection. Nothing so vague and incomplete as spirit can remain."
:"...I should have expected as much. <sc></sc>, "The Being of Knowledge." <sc></sc>, "The Being of Willpower." And <sc></sc>, "The Being of Emotion"..."
:"The Pokémon have come to protect Sinnoh? Pathetic and worthless. It takes the three of them, the three lake Pokémon that symbolize spirit, to balance either the Pokémon of time or space. But they can't maintain balance against the two. Not when both <sc>Dialga</sc> and <sc>Palkia</sc> are here. Their coming here is in vain. So much meaningless drama. Now, <player>. You've constantly interfered with my plans, but you will be forgiven. After all, there will remain no spirit for all time when I am done. All spirit will disappear. It will be ripped away... From you! From your Pokémon! From those precious to you...! It is time! My dream will be my reality!"
:"What is this pressure I feel...? Something...is enraged?"
:"Interesting. So, there is a Pokémon that can only appear as a shadow."
:"Regardless, the effort is rash and foolish. I have harnessed the powers of <sc>Dialga</sc> and <sc>Palkia</sc>..."
:"I, Cyrus, won't have any more interferererererere...!"
;Distortion World
:"...The shadowy Pokémon isn't here. It abandoned me here, then disappeared somewhere farther down... Was it content to merely interfere with my plan...? Incidentally, do you understand the concept of genes?"
::Yes: "...If it's true, you've impressed me.
::No: "...No, of course, you wouldn't.
:::Either way: Genes can be considered the blueprints of all life-forms. That includes humans and Pokémon alike. Genes are contained in a DNA strand. A DNA strand consists of 2 chains of opposing characteristics in a spiral. If one of the chains were to be broken, the other could replicate it. One or the other cannot exist without its opposite."
:"Do you understand where I am going with this? This is a bizarre world. Time doesn't flow. Space isn't stable. Only that shadowy Pokémon lives here. This world is the opposite of our world-- our world I wish to change. It is like the two chains composing the strand of DNA. The two worlds must be balancing each other to remain in existence. Without one, the other cannot exist. The shadowy Pokémon must play a role in keeping the worlds in balance. That is why it must have interfered and brought me here. The shadowy Pokémon must have made this bizarre world. That's why trying to change our world disturbed it and made it reveal itself. But that is all irrelevant. What matters is defeating that Pokémon and making this world disappear. I won't allow it to interfere with me again. With it gone, neither world will be able to revert to its original state..."
* When met again
:"Why should I run and hide from the world and have to wait quietly? My aim is to rid our world of the vague and incomplete thing we call spirit. By freeing ourselves of that, our world can be made complete. That is my justice! No one can interfere!"
* Before battle
:"I won't lose! Not to that shadowy Pokémon! Not in any worthless world!"
* After sending out last Pokémon
:"I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme."
* During battle (last Pokémon with less than half HP)
:"This... this cannot be! It's not possible that I lose!"
* Being defeated
:"I won't accept this! This can't be! Not after all the sacrifices we've made to get this far! What of my new world?! Of my new galaxy?! Was this all a dream to be swept away by your reality?!"
* After being defeated
:"... Don't think that you can defeat or capture that Pokémon. This bizarre world is none other than that Pokémon itself! Capturing it or defeating it will make this world disappear! Very well! Do what you will! Rather than repairing the world, you're going to destroy it for me! Do it. You inherit my legacy."
* After battle with Giratina
:"/ Your doing so means that this irrational world will remain in existence! Does that make it impossible for me to create a new world? Even if I made new Red Chains, the new world can't be made! Why?! What compels you to protect the two worlds? Is spirit, a vague and incomplete thing, so important to you?!"
:"Silence! Enough of your blathering! That's how you justify spirit as something worthwhile?! That is merely humans hoping, deluding themselves that they are happy and safe! The emotions roiling inside me... Rage, hatred, frustration... These ugly emotions arise because of my own incomplete spirit! ...Enough. We will never see eye to eye. This, I promise you. I will break the secrets of the world. With that knowledge, I will create my own complete and perfect world. One day, you will awaken to a world of my creation. A world without spirit."
===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
* Before battle
:"Who are you...? It seems you are not a member of Team RR."
:"...My name is Cyrus. I would like to ask you one question. Is this world the new world?" 
::Regardless of answer: "I can sense in you the strong desire to protect... something. You have a powerful spirit. ...That must mean this isn't the world I desired. I used the power of the Pokémon that control and to create a perfect world, where the human spirit does not exist. That was when appeared and engulfed me... And brought me to this world.
:"Is that a Pokédex...? May I have a look?"
:"Interesting... In this world, even the Pokédex is..."
:"... ... ... ... ... ... ...I see. So you have a spirit, as well. But it's too late... All too late. I cannot stop now. I must remove the weak, incomplete human spirit from this world and bring it perfection!"
:"How foolish..."
:"I will not let anyone get in my way..."
* Being defeated
:"Impressive. Your prowess is notable."
*After being defeated
:...Why are you able to create such strong bonds with your Pokémon? And how are you able to turn those bonds into strength?"
:"...I see. ...You need not worry, Rotom. I will not do anything to this world. I believe I shall return to the perfect world I created. But before that...take this key."
:"Use it to activate the machine on the wall behind me. That should open the mirror door."
:"Had I met you sooner...would things have been different for me...?"
===Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===
;
* Before battle
:"So we meet again, <player>. It seems our fates have become intertwined. But here and now, I will finally break that bond!"
* Being defeated
:"How? How?! HOW?!"
*After being defeated
:"Just how long will your legend continue?!"

: " recognize me. Are you a Trainer from Sinnoh?"
: "The Distortion World? What are you talking about?"
: "I attempted to create world without spirit using the powers of and –the Legendary Pokémon that control time and space."
: "However, I was interrupted when appeared. It swallowed me up and brought me here."

: "No matter. My dream will not end here due to some minor setback."

:: Pikachu, stop Palkia!/Protect Blissey!: "See how powerless you are?"

:"Combined with the strength you all lend me, we can now create the ideal world we've always dreamed of!"
:"In order to carry out our plans, I'm thinking of using sync stones."
:"They are stones that allow sync pairs to use tremendous power."
:"We must learn more about these stones—and about the sygna suit outfits that certain sync pairs seem to favor."
:"That said, I have no intent of relying on a connection between hearts."
:"Instead, we will prove that technology is capable of drawing out the full power of these sync stones!"
:"In that nightmare Darkrai showed me..."

*A Mission to Complete
* Off-screen, as "???"
:"You dare to meddle in my affairs?"
* On-screen, as Cyrus
:"Silence."
:"Why doesn't anyone understand my ideals?"
:"I suppose we'll never see eye to eye."
:"Dialga."
:"Connections and bonds between hearts end here. I'll eliminate them all!"
:"Why?! How could I lose yet again?!"
:"Your...friend?"
:"You are unstable, incomplete beings..."
:"You're nothing but pawns."
:"What?"
:"... ... ..."
: "Connections between hearts... These bonds you speak of... I admit they can prove to be useful."
: "However, you remain unaware of the tragic events that unfold because of them."
:"I will find another way—a way in which we can avoid that suffering."
: "Perhaps completing the human spirit is one way to accomplish that."
:"With a complete spirit, there would be no tragedy and no mistakes."
: "Saturn."
* Off-screen
: "Jupiter."
: "Mars."
* On-screen
: "As before, you are still nothing more than pawns and tools to accomplish what I need."
:"If you're fine with that, you may come with me."
:"I'll be on my way."
: "And , boy from Sinnoh..."
:"Take care of Dialga."
;Main Story Villain Arc - Paulo - The Path Forward
*Justice without Power
* In flashback
: "That is what it means to think efficiently."
: "An incomplete spirit will only get in the way of making the right choices."
*The Last Evil
: "He lost his and is now controlled by his own sadness and rage?"
: "How will throwing away a bond change one's heart?"
: "Perhaps I should observe this process and the results it will yield."
;Main Story Villain Arc - Final Chapter - Where Ideals Cross Paths
*A Pasio Solution
* Off-screen, as "???"
: "Excuse me."
* After appearing, as Cyrus
: "I won't allow you to get in their way."
: "...Do it."
;Villain Event Prelude - Galactic Nightmare
*A Perfect World
* Off-screen, as "???"
: "(Team Galactic members have come to Pasio?)"
* After appearing, as Cyrus
: "(Yes... I still have my ideals for creating a new world.)"
: "(The ultimate world. A world of complete perfection.)"
: "(Nothing so vague and incomplete as spirit can remain.)"
: "(After all, a twisted world full of incomplete human spirit...)"
: "(That would be an intolerable nightmare indeed.)"
;Story Event - Shine a Gentle Light
*Guide through the Darkness
: " looks just like a lighthouse..."
: "The light of a lighthouse guides sailors to their destination."
: "No matter how dark the ocean is, the light guides them to where they need to go."
: "Team Galactic has no use for that."
: "We shall find and make our path by ourselves."
;Story Event - Travelers from a Distant Past
*Cyrus of Team Galactic
: "You don't need to explain."
: "I already know why you're here."
: "However, I have no intention of cooperating with the likes of you."
: "I don't know what organization you're mistaking us for, but Team Galactic has one mission—"
: "to create a perfect world."
: "If you're hoping for goodwill, leave now. You won't find such ambiguous things here."
: "What is it, Palkia?"
: "How unscientific."
: "However, it does coincide with some of Team Galactic's research."
: "Time and space..."
: "If a large number of wild Pokémon are appearing in this phenomenon's vicinity..."
: "I can hypothesize it's because various times and spaces are connected."
: "There's a chance the disturbances are forming because the balance between time and space has been disrupted."
: "Fine. I'll cooperate."
: "I'm curious whether this will prove my hypothesis correct—and what the results will show."
: "Within the distortion, wild Pokémon will become an obstacle."
: "It would be more effective, then, to apply force from outside the distortion, in a pincer movement."
*People and Pokémon
: "Two powers were not enough..."
: "(There was third power at work here, from the reverse side that doesn't follow the laws of physics...)"
: "Hmph. So here, too."
;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Cyrus
:"Wait, ."
:"I didn't expect to see a child walking around here so late at night."
::Uh...I was, like, you know.../I was out exploring.: "You don't need to explain yourself. It's none of my concern."
:"Walk around wherever you want at night, but don't get too close to Darkrai. If you do, you'll have nightmares."
:"To protect itself, Darkrai afflicts those around it with nightmares and chases them away. It actually doesn't cause these nightmares intentionally. The response is instinctive."
:"Darkrai pushes others away and lives a solitary life as a result."
::But you're together with it...: "That's easy to explain."
::Oh, really?: "I don't think there's anyone but me who could be Darkrai's partner."
:"My spirit is not so weak that I would be terrified by nightmares. The world of darkness that Darkrai shows me—devoid of joy or despair—doesn't feel like a nightmare at all. If anything, I feel at ease there."
:"But people and Pokémon are far too scared of darkness. There aren't many who feel positively about Darkrai."
::I wouldn't say that...: "You don't have to force yourself to say something positive."
::Is Darkrai lonely?: "No, I don't think it has such feelings. After spending so much time alone, Darkrai no longer feels such things as sadness or loneliness."
:"If you sympathize with Darkrai and would like to spend time with it... you have to be prepared to enter a world of pure darkness."
:"If you can accept a world of nothingness, then you can truly understand Darkrai's spirit. That's what it means to be together with Darkrai."
::If that's what it'll takes to be friends...: "So you're not afraid of nightmares? You've got the kind of spirit that lets you endure fear it's for the sake of Pokémon."
::That's kinda scary...: "I'd say that's a normal reaction. With an incomplete spirit, it would be very difficult to endure a world of loneliness."
:"If you really understand what it means to be near Darkrai and its nightmares, and you want to get to know it better... then come to me anytime. I'll show you a truly beautiful world."
;Pokémon Center
* During sync background preview (Sygna Suit)
: "A twisted world full of incomplete human spirit... That would be an intolerable nightmare indeed."
* Random conversation
:"We humans and Pokémon are incomplete. Because we are all so lacking, we fight, we maim..."
:"I hate the incompleteness. That we are all incomplete, I hate it with my entire body and being."
:"The world should be complete. The world must change."
* Random conversation
:"Tell me, <player>... What does friendship mean to you?"
:"Friendship is a vague, incomplete concept. We are better off abandoning such useless sentimentality."
:"I cannot understand it."
* Random conversation
:"We humans and Pokémon are incapable of understanding each other."
:"If we did, all these ugly conflicts would never happen."
:"It is because of emotions that, even in a place like Pasio, an organization like Team Break exists."
:"An ugly group like that could not be further from perfection."
:* If spoken to again
::"I do not concern myself with those who act based on flawed, incomplete things like emotions."
::"However, if you are embroiled in conflict with a group like Team Break, I will at least listen to what you have to say."
* Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"There is nothing more foolish than being compelled to act by feelings and emotions."
:"I'm only working together with you because I determined that it would be in my best interests."
* Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"Time and space shape our world in an intertwining spiral."
:"If either were to be destroyed, our world would quickly collapse."
:"Our reality is a very fragile thing."
* Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"You and your partner Pokémon are connected to each other through your spirits. You're able to turn that into a tremendous power."
:"I cannot understand that kind of power at all."
* Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"Although I'm dressed differently than usual, my attitude hasn't changed at all."
:"As long as it's functional, I don't care at all what I wear."
* Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"No matter how long you and I work together, our philosophies will never be compatible."
:"You think of your partner Pokémon as friends, while I see them as an extension of my power."
:"These two mind-sets simply cannot be reconciled."
:"Despite that, we can still have conversations like this—and even be of assistance to one another at times. Strange, isn't it?"
* Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"To a person like you, a good dream is probably something delightful and fun."
:"But not to me."
:"I think what Darkrai shows me are good dreams... Eternal dreams of darkness."
:"Dreams free of both joy and suffering, where there are no constraints or obligations..."
:"I see these dreams as something complete."
:* If spoken to again
::"“Good dreams” are an illusion. They disappear in an instant when you wake up, never to return."
::"They are incomplete, fleeting things."
* Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"Unlike humans—who are unreliable—machines act according to logic, and their actions always bring about the same results."
:"Machines aren't influenced by the uncertainties of spirit or emotions."
:"Don't you think that's wonderful?"
:"The world is filled with ugly things, but I think machines alone are beautiful."
:* If spoken to again
::"If this world was made up only of machines..."
::"I think it would be close to the complete world that I envision."
* Special log-in conversation (generic)
:"Oh, it's you, <player>. I can feel your powerful spirit again today."
:"Your spirit is something I lack—something I can't even comprehend... But perhaps in your case, it can be considered an asset."
* Special log-in conversation (generic) (Sygna Suit)
:"Oh, it's you, <player>."
:"If you and I are headed toward the same goal, I suppose I will lend you my strength."
* Special log-in conversation (morning)
:"Vague and incomplete things like emotions and spirit waver and vanish, much like how fog fades in the morning sun."
* Special log-in conversation (afternoon)
:"Pasio... To think that people could have built such an enormous island."
* Special log-in conversation (evening)
:"*sigh* The silence of night is the closest thing there is to my perfect world."
* Special log-in conversation (morning) (Sygna Suit)
:"Every morning when I wake up, it almost feels as if I'm on the border of dreams and reality."
* Special log-in conversation (afternoon) (Sygna Suit)
:"When you're tired, it's advisable to get some rest. Overworking yourself is inefficient."
* Special log-in conversation (evening) (Sygna Suit)
:"The light of day and the darkness of night are both incomplete... We must adapt to the time of day."
* Special gift conversation
:"Ah, it's you. Excellent timing. This is for you. Use it well."
:* After giving out item
::"I no longer have any need for it."
::"This will save me the trouble of disposing of it."
* Special gift conversation (Sygna Suit)
:"Allow me to offer you this."
:* After giving out item
::"A tool is only as useful as what you make of it. Use it well."
