* "Ah...no. Mom says chips are bad for health." (In response to being asked if he wanted to trade.)

* "I want to go back home. Why did we have to leave?"

### [#8] Reunion

### [#9] Weakling

* "..." (Listening to kids talk about Vincent having health complications.)

### [#10] Henrietta Warhol

* "You should use detergent to scrub this off." (Cleaning the classroom with Henrietta.)
* "I like cleaning."
* "You can go home, I planned to stay after lessons anyway."
* "...okay." (In response to Henrietta explaining why she's staying.)
* "Henrietta?"
* "Give me your hand."
* "Here. Good work today." (Placing a candy into Henrietta's hand.)
* "Unless you don't like barberry flavor." (As a response to Henrietta asking if anything is wrong with it.)
* "You're welcome."

* "but mom!" (A message response to Henrietta sending messages about getting rid of Charles' acne.)

### [#13] School trip

##### *High School*

* "Mind if I sit here?" (Asking if he can sit next to Vincent.)
* "Thanks."
* "Oh. Now that I think of it, it's the front seat."
* "I shouldn't be taking it."
* "Sucks to be you." (About Vincent getting carsick in the back of the bus.)

* "Morning." (To Vincent.)
* "Was getting my beauty sleep."
* "Did you party with everyone?"
* "Have to admit, I have a hard time imagining you drinking."
* "Augh, don't remind me."
* "I woke up to sounds of someone puking in the toilet next door."
* "When I drink, I just become sleepy."
* "Boring, right?"
* "Nah...if anything, I shut up for good." (In response to Vincent saying Charles seems like one to talk a lot when drunk.)
* "Then fall asleep."
* "I think I'm the type people would call an ambulance for because they'd drunkedly think I died of lethal ethanol intake."
* "Well..."

* "...?" (Being woken up by Vincent after falling asleep outside.)
* "Ah. Thanks."
* "I didn't mean to fall asleep."
* "Why are you out at this hour?"
* "We're not allowed to leave the rooms at night, you know?"
* "Uh."
* "I guess I'm not a fan of voyeurism?"
* "No, that sounded bad. Forget it."
* "Yeah, that's a pleasant way to put it." (After Vincent says he assumes there's problems with Charles' roommate.)
* "..."
* "No, that's..." (In response to Vincent mentioning how quiet it is.)
* "Nah. I'll wait it out a bit more." (In response to being asked if he was going to return to his room soon.)
* "Night. Thanks for keeping me company."

### [#14] Passwords

* "sure, just gonna grab something to eat" (Message response to Vincent asking if Charles would join him for lunch.)
* "is it the usual place?" (Message response.)

* "Don't you think the education system is flawed?" (Discussing while eating lunch with Vincent.)
* "Hmm..."
* "I'm rather thinking about the things we learn."
* "Take today's test, for example."
* "Do you actually know what "the entropy of isolated system never decreases" means? Can you explain that?"
* "See?"
* "You only learned the answer the teacher wanted to see."
* "Not only will you forget this knowledge, but you'll have no clue what you were writing about."
* "We're only learning keywords that we don't know the meaning of, and don't gain any practical knowledge."
* "Right."
* "I just wanted you to hear me out on this."
* "If given the opportunity, I'd like to change something myself."
* "It'd be ridiculous to tell others how to do their work."
* "Then, mass media is just entirely made out of them."
* "It's just template phrases that are guaranteed to cause a reaction..."
* "Yeah. Like articles bashing local art exhibitions are actually written to promote them."
* "Oh, crap. I think the break will end soon."
* "You still haven't finished your food."

### [#15] Puberty

* "Miss Warhol, you absolutely have to consult me on dating sims." (Talking to Henrietta.)
* "We could make a fortune off this."
* "It's your fault for trying to seem something you're not~"
* "So, how about it? You and me, a doujin circle?"
* "Just copy the popular troupes."
* "Everyone only wants things they're used to."

* "what's up with the emergence of the web cults lately?" (Messaging Vincent.)
* "eh— What?! Really?" (After Vincent says he copywrote the Heaven's Gate site.)
* "the text you wrote was awfully convincing, though"
* "why heaven's gate though?"
* "yeah, sounds pretentious as fuck"
* "so an empty promise of virtue, huh"
* "still, isn't it uh. kind of dangerous?"
* "people might believe you guys for real."

### [#17] Trust

* "Ah...haha...This barely counts as as writing." (Upon being asked by Vincent if he's writing something.)
* "No, not exactly. Not more than usual. It's just..."
* "I don't know how to communicate my thoughts to others."
* "The whole plot looks too contrived. I'd stop reading after the first page."
* "No!"
* "If anything, it's my own fault that I'm a clumsy writer, not theirs."
* "...I don't. I mean, I really want to."
* "But I'd be lying if I said I did."
* "Wouldn't I be making a fool out of myself if I admit my weaknesses?"
* "You..."
* "Haa...I suppose that's one way to go about it."
* "If it were me, I'd rather have the work exist separately from its author."
* "If anything, I'd prefer working as anonymously as possible."
* "Haha...the way you put it sounds like selling your mind to others."
* "That's...a lot of knowledge for someone as young as you, mr. Fennell."
* "Yeah. Thanks. I owe you one."
* "Actually, would you like to read what I've written so far?"
* "I think I could use some feedback."
* "Bring it on."
* "I'll fetch you my notebook next week, then."
* "There's a lot written, so you can take your time with it—"

* "I think it's not about good ideas, but rather the ability to convince others." (About being invited to the student council by Vincent.)
* "Which is something you have."
* "Okay, fine. I'll tag along."
* "Huh...Wait! That's the opposite of words of encouragement!"

* "Today's meeting was so tiring...I need a no-people day soon." (After a student council meeting.)
* "Says Vincent who talked during the whole meeting."
* "How do you even have energy for all that arguing?"
* "More like uncivilized discourse."
* "Everyone was basically trying to shout louder than the others."
* "I can't believe you."
* "Well, the weather's not bad."
* "I was planning to invite you for a walk anyway."
* "Good plan."

### [#18] Social media

* "I'm so tired of social media." (While waiting for the next class to begin with Henrietta.)
* "Everyone's talking so much, but no one's talking about things that really matter."
* "And I feel bad for contributing."
* "Shut it. I know. I'm just saying how I feel."
* "And I feel tired."
* "Way to trivialize him!" (Talking about Vincent.)
* "He's like...a god."
* "Okay, good point."
* "Just because he has the human decency to make effort to be kind to others."
* "He's hardworking, reliable and after talking to him I always feel like I've ascended to some new level of human consciousness."
* "Also, he appreciates the concept of personal space. Unlike some."
* "Now you're just being jealous."
* "See?"
* "No human decency."
* "Vincent would be like, 'Would you kindly back off'."
* "Hahaha. Might as well be."
* "I wonder if he's ever gotten angry at someone."
* "Mean Anri is the best Anri."
* "Actually, any Anri is great."
* "I can't exactly tell you not to worry about it, though."
* "But, I like you the way you are."

### [#19] Possessions

* "Of course." (In response to Vincent saying Charles looks proud of himself.)
* "Cleaning, done!"
* "Clothes, ironed!"
* "I can focus on schoolwork in peace."
* "I just can't seem to focus when there's something out of place."
* "I end up thinking about a single sheet of paper lying around unsorted instead of doing something useful."
* "Oh, but that's not the worst of it."
* "Don't like stuff piling up?"
* "(*Let's change the topic...*)"
* "That being said, remember when we were all about collecting stickers and stuff?"
* "I still have my collection."
* "I can't bring myself to throw away my cat toys, too."
* "It's kind of embarrassing."
* "Well...yeah. When you put it like that..."
* "What about you?"
* "Didn't you have your favorite stuff?"
* "...Oh. I see. And then?"
* "Well, uh. Yeah. I see."
* "You must have no interest in material possessions. That's admirable."

### [#20] Uncertainity

* "Crap, your brother is good at rhythm games." (Hanging out with Henrietta and her brother.)
* "Aren't you being a little harsh?"
* "Maybe his mind just works differently from the rest?"
* "Your parents don't have to buy all of that, you know."
* "Sheesh."
* "Yes?"
* "What?"
* "I fail to see your point."
* "Aren't you the one who's always like..."
* ""Ahhh, I wish someone would call me princess and take me on cute dates~~""
* ""We'd buy matching clothes and cuddle on a sofa*—""*
* "Does it need a specific term?"
* "If you're talking about becoming each other's possession, then I'm against it."
* "No one ever belongs to anyone."
* "Yet for some reason everyone thinks a meaningless string of letters can bind people to them."
* "It rubs me the wrong way."
* "That would mean treating others as commodities."
* "Which, in turn, contributes to a mindset intrinsic to a capitalist society."
* "Sorry."
* "I just don't know yet."
* "Hm..." (After being kissed by Henrietta.)
* "It was supposed to be this amazingly good thing that every story leads up to..."
* "But it didn't really feel like anything out of the ordinary."
* "Um, I think it'd be the same."
* "You know I'm not too comfortable with physical stuff."
* "Is there something wrong with me, after all?"
* "..."
* "Sorry. I just feel like I'm constantly letting people down."
* "Vincent's always surrounded by people, though."
* "He only started isolating himself just recently."
* "Maybe he was just bored around you?"
* "Hahaha! Where did that come from?"
* "If I cloned myself or had my personality divided into parts, it'd end in a mass suicide."
* "..."
* "I'm sorry."
* "You're right."
* "Thank you, Anri."

### [#21] Paralysis

* "got hospitalized with face paralysis" (Messaging Henrietta from the hospital.)

* "Bless her." (About Henrietta bringing Charles school printouts.)

### [#22] Care

* "Hmm...Playing god or making a fool out of myself...tough choice indeed..." (Discussing writing with Vincent.)
* "The latter sounds like less pressure, so I'd take that one."
* "That way, every reader can become a co-creator, even if they get laughs at my expense."
* "Besides, if something's considered ideal, you can only make copies of it without creating anything new."
* "That doesn't sound too creative to me."
* "More importantly, what'd be your choice?"
* "How are your grades coming along, by the way?"
* "Wow. You're amazing."
* "Nah. I totally blew my chem and math grades."
* "Took me a bit of time to come to terms with the fact that I'm not that smart."
* "Wish I didn't grow up thinking that doing well in academics would guarantee me a secure future, though."
* "Or anything really."
* "Right now I just want to sleep my life away."
* "She's...okay. Surprisingly enough."
* "I'm doing my best to help her, too."
* "Even if it means working in retail."
* "She used to be far more violent before."
* "Never laid a hand on me, though."
* "It was always something else."
* "Utensils, clothes, books."
* "The only thing I regret is that as a kid, I tried to make her less aggressive by saying I'll kill myself."
* "That was extremely selfish of me."
* "Still, it's so weird."
* "Out of all solutions my 4-year-old mind always jumped to suicide."
* "I guess I just wanted to guilt trip her into caring."
* "What do you mean?"
* "Sounds fishy."
* "But, as long as you don't want to talk about it, I'll bug off."

### [#23] Visit

* "Who could it be?" (A stabbed Henrietta ringing Charles' doorbell.)
* "Maybe I should pretend we're not home..."
* "...!" (Seeing Henrietta.)
* "Anri?!"
* "What happened?"
* "Shit, okay, don't talk."
* "Mom, call the ambulance."
* "Anri, I'll help you lie down, okay?"
* "Don't worry about it."
* "It's going to be alright."
* "Here."
* "Sorry for the makeshift scarf pillow. I'll get you a real one in a bit."
* "I'll try to stop the bleeding now."
* "But, uh, I only have theoretical knowledge about it. Forgive me if it hurts."
* "Mom will google the right way to do it, so trust us."
* "Okay, this should do it."

* "What did they say?" (With Henrietta at the hospital.)
* "That's good."
* "..."
* "I'm scared, too."
* "Ever since we moved into that place, I've been paranoid of every sound."
* "We got rid of the cockroaches, but the neighbours stayed."
* "Want me to get you some pepper spray? I have some in my bag."
* "But they are ordinary."
* "My mom got stalked by some psycho for over a year."
* "I got smacked with a broken bottle on the street some time ago."
* "Our neighbour's dog got mauled by a pack of strays."
* "Life's full of misfortunes like that."
* "It is."
* "But there's nothing we can do about it, can we?"
* "..."
* "Miss Warhol."
* "I didn't get to ask, but what exactly happened back then?"

### [#25] Love

* "No way! Is it a love confession, mr. Fennell?" (On a walk in the rain with Vincent.)
* "Oh. What's it called?"
* "Sounds fancy."
* "Of course. I mean, you can't write badly."

### [#27] Different

* "Oh." (Discussing Vincent's novel while playing games with Henrietta.)
* "Stop it, I'm not a blind follower."
* "I read his writing the other day."
* "It's good. Like, really good."
* "But..."
* "I didn't like it."
* "Well...the overarching theme of his stories is that only you can save yourself."
* "It's like...other people don't exist, or can't be of any help even if they're around."
* "His characters either choose solitude or end up in circumstances where they are surrounded by their own selves."
* "Don't you think it's close-minded to think that way?"
* "What do you mean?"

### [#29] Exams

* "(Ah...Maybe telling her wasn't a good idea after all...)" (Discussing Vincent's relation to Heaven's Gate in the cafe with Henrietta.)
* "So what if he's a cult leader!"
* "I want to talk to him again."
* "Besides, he only helped copywrite the texts."
* "It's not like he involved himself in their activity."
* "Listen, I'm sure he understands the weight of his actions."
* "His current isolation must be just damage control."
* "God, Anri. Are we talking about the same person here?"
* "He's the most tactful person I know. He wouldn't..."
* "You can't cry if you're dead, miss Warhol."
* "But it is! Everyone has their own brains."
* "If they decided to self-destruct after hearing they're in a video game, then they were already predisposed to it."
* "They just saw the cult site and BAM! Confirmation bias activated."
* "They wanted a motive, they got it."
* "I would never end my life just because I stumbled on some creepypasta on the Internet."
* "It would take more than that. Like...Mother's death."
* "Or my own health deteriorating to the point where I start hurting others. Then, I..."
* "Ah. I'm sorry."
* "I don't think I'm completely right, either."
* "Circumstances are different in each individual's case. I know that."
* "I'm just worried about him."
* "Knowing Vincent, he'll never talk about himself."
* "Which is okay with me, if that's what he wants."
* "But if I keep ignoring this, what if he...what if..."
* "..."

### [#30] Graduation

##### *Graduation*

* "Who...?" (Not recognizing Henrietta dressed up for graduation.)
* "I think you just aged by nine years*—"*
* "OW! Okay, okay, seven*—"*
* "Please stop kicking me, miss Warhol."
* "I look like my father."
* "I don't know anymore."
* "All that matters is that Mother is doing better."
* "Thanks. You too."

* "You look tired." (Talking to Vincent.)
* "She's participating in a photoshoot with other girls."
* "I ran away as soon as I saw the camera."
* "And, it's too stuffy in this suit."
* "Yeah. I just want it to be over soon."

* "You're leaving?" (To Vincent, as Vincent begins to leave the graduation.)
* "Oh. Alright."
* "See you later, then."

* "Fennell! Wait. Your coat..." (After rushing after Vincent to give him his coat that he forgot.)
* "..."
* "It didn't seem like it."
* "..."
* "Mind if I walk with you for a bit?"

* "I'm not fond of high places." (Upon reaching a viewpoint on a hill with Vincent.)
* "...no."
* "I feel like I could fall down any second."
* "..."
* "You..."
* "You never talk about anything that really matters, do you?"
* "Always all smiles and big talk."
* "Talking, talking, talking, yet nothing you say has real weight to it."
* "I'm sick of your smiling face."
* "My personality has nothing to do with this."
* "That's because I don't want to be a burden!"
* "But for you, it's all about your image."
* "At very least I'd listen to what you have to say."
* "You just don't trust me enough."
* "You don't trust *anyone.*"
* "...I know."
* "Yet, I want to understand you."
* "It's not your fault that I don't."
* "You're someone I've always looked up to."
* "You could do things I couldn't and find the right words to influence others."
* "It always felt like your opinion mattered."
* "I..."
* "I thought I wouldn't mind losing my individuality if it'd mean getting influenced by yours."
* "You...claim that you don't mean things you say."
* "That your personality is fabricated."
* "I don't think you're being entirely honest."
* "You*—"*
* "..."
* "Still..."
* "You've been trying your best, haven't you?"
* "All this talk about "a quiet place", those bruises..."
* "I think it's pretty obvious at this point that whoever you live with, they've been..."
* "...They haven't been treating you well."
* "The Vincent I remember was an empty husk of a person."
* "It's like you were never physically there at all."
* "Yet, with time, you were able to regain control over your life."
* "It's not like you became someone whom others look up to overnight."
* "You worked hard for it."
* "Because you care."
* "Would you rather dissociate for the rest of your life?"
* "...!"
* "I..."
* "I may be insignificant and frankly boring..."
* "But I'm going to do my best to become someone you can consider your equal."
* "I'll keep doing my best, so..."
* "So you...so I..."
* "*I want you to live.*"
