“Even if it's a lie, it's a place of my own. That's why I'm going to keep it. It doesn't need to be a big lie—just big enough for one person. And if I can hold on to that lie inside my heart, if I can keep repeating it to myself, it might lead me somewhere. Somewhere else, somewhere different. If I can do that, maybe I'll change a little, and maybe the world will, too.”
Emi Yagi, Diary of a Void

“I'm always so alone. I guess I should be used to it by now. That's the way it is from the moment we come into this world, but I'm still not used to it - how alone we all are.”
Emi Yagi, Diary of a Void

“Having a baby isn't easy. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's been two thousand years, and it's the same old story, right?”
Emi Yagi, Diary of a Void
