    "Somehow, I wind up in the backseat of a limousine heading to who-knows-where when, just moments ago, I was less than an inch from flipping the world on its head."
    "I’m not sure when I switched to auto-pilot, but it feels like every minute since leaving Noriko alone in her orange-tinted clearing has been the first minute of my life."
    "So I ask you-"
    "When was the last time {i}you{/i} felt alive?"
    "Because for me, it..."
    "Fuck it."
    "I don’t want to talk to you anymore."

    s "You know...you’re one of the last people I would have expected to end the night with."
    to "Oh? And why is that?"
    s "Because I’ve been having a nonstop marathon of melancholy with girls that I know much better than you over the last forty-eight hours- in which I have barely seen {i}you{/i} at all."
    to "That problem could be easily remedied by looking at me a little more, Sensei."
    s "My bad, Tobiko. I guess I just had other things on my mind."
    to "If you’re going to start playing the name replacement game again, please at least give me a {i}human{/i} name. I like to believe I’m a tier or two above {i}fish eggs.{/i}"
    to "As for your {i}mind{/i} and what could have been on it, I apologize again for interrupting you and Maya. But I hope that what I am about to show you will make it at least {i}somewhat{/i} worth it."
    s "Me too. Opportunities like that haven’t really been all that common for me."
    to "Nonsense. You have plenty of opportunities to push the boundaries of what is and isn’t acceptable with your students every single day. I have heard the things they say about you, you know? I have ears."
    s "Sure, but that’s not {i}Maya.{/i}"
    to "Is there something special about Maya? Something {i}she{/i} has that the rest of us do not?"
    s "Well..."
    s "There was."
    to "And there’s not anymore?"
    s "Things have changed a little, but...there probably still is. Explaining it would take a lot longer than a drive to...wherever it is you’re taking me right now, though."
    to "Then I suppose I’ll be waiting with bated breath for whenever that time comes."
    to "For now, I’m unfortunately going to have to blindfold you."
    s "What is it with your family and blindfolding people? Is Imani in the trunk? Who is going to try and sell me things this time?"
    to "Shush. Surely, you don’t mind covering your eyes for a few minutes to repay me for all of the trouble I went through in order to ensure that we got away undetected."
    s "I hope you realize how much trouble this is going to get {i}me{/i} into. I already disappeared last night. There’s no way pulling that two nights in a row is going to end well."
    to "I suppose I’m a bit of a troublemaker now, aren’t I? "
    s "“Kidnapper” is probably more accurate."
    to "I wonder who it is that’s been such a bad influence on me?"
    s "I saw you talking to Molly earlier, so probably her."
    to "Oh good. So you did look at me at least once. "
    to "Was it on purpose? Or did you just happen to catch a glance while you were looking for Maya?"
    s "What happened to pretending you never saw anything?"
    to "Rest assured, I won’t tell anyone else. But I seldom get opportunities to push {i}your{/i} buttons and I think you look awfully cute when you’re on the defensive."
    s "I’m not defending anything."
    to "Adorable. It’s like you’re a real, living thing all of a sudden."
    s "Says the fish eggs."
    to "Close your eyes, Sensei."

    s "Fine. But the last time somebody told me to do that, I wound up with a tongue in my mouth."
