“Don't tell me you're thinking about nonsense like 'you wish you were never born', right?"
"Sakura-san..."
"You said you wanted to be here with everyone... and that's what everyone's fightin' for. Take that helplessness and that frustration, and then swallow all of those feelings while you carefully watch as all of these guys put themselves through the wringer for you. And we swear... we'll never let anyone lay a finger on you".”

“I don't feel that way anymore," Nico muttered. "I mean... I gave up on Percy. I was young and impressionable, and I- I don't..."
