“This is the story of a person named [name].”

“[Name] was happy.”

“No, this couldn’t go any way except badly.”

“In here, I can be happy forever. I will be happy.”

“Now it’s just a little closer. Now it’s even closer. Here it comes…”

“So now that you’re here, what do you think? Isn’t this a fun and unique place to be?”

“Ok I’m done with this now. Aren’t you sick of this gag yet?”

“Well I don’t know how to say this politely, but you could literally hit escape and just restart the game and old time you want.”

“I’m enjoying what seems to be an internal conflict going on where you are literally unable to act on your own desires.”

“I’m going to try and make this as miserable as possible, and we’ll see how long you can maintain.”

“But now comes the real question: what do you think would have happened if you had told me that you wanted this to stop? Do you think it would have been particularly different?”

“Perhaps you would have never even thought of it, if I hadn’t brought up the issue in the first place.”

“so what do you think, which choice was the better one?”

“In fact, I’m just going to say that no one who’s listening to this is lucky.”

“Are you… are you really standing in the broom closet?”

“Please offer me some explanation here, I’m genuinely confused.”

“You do realize there’s no choice or anything in here, right?”

“Literally, this closet is of no significance whatsoever. I never would have thought to mention it.”

“I hope your friends find this concerning.”

“Well, I’ve come to a very definite conclusion about what’s going on right now. You’re dead.”

“Well, in a situation like this, the responsible thing to do is alert someone nearby so as to ensure your body is taken care of before it begins to decompose.”

“HELLO! ANYONE WHO HAPPENS TO BE NEARBY! THE PERSON AT THIS COMPUTER IS DEAD!”

“Alright, when you’ve done that just step outside into the hallway.”

“I guarantee you can’t do any worse than the person who came before you.”

“It was unthinkable, wasn’t it? Was it even possible?”

“Oh [Name], you didn’t just active the controls, did you?”

“Is that what you wanted? Control?”

“I applaud your effort, I really do, but you really need to understand. There’s only so much that machine can do.”

“If you want to throw my story off track, you’re going to have to do much better than that.”

“I’m afraid you don’t have nearly the power you think you do.”

“How long until detonation then? Hmm… let’s say two minutes.”

“Ah, now this is making things a little more fun, isn’t it [name]?”

“Alright. I’m in a good mood, and you’re going to die anyways.”

“This version of events has been rather amusing.”

“[Name]… you’re in for quite a disappointment.”

“I want to watch you for every moment that you’re powerless, to see you made humble.”

“Will you cling desperately to your frail life, or will you let it go peacefully?”

“This was exactly the way, right now, that things were meant to happen.”

“When every path you can walk has been created for you long in advance, death becomes meaningless, making life the same.”

“As long as you move forward, you’ll be walking someone else’s path.”

“Why is there a voice in my head, dictating everything that I’m doing and thinking?”

“I’m through with this dream. I wish it to be over.”

“Please, just someone tell me I’m real! I must be real! I must be!”

“I’ll say it: this is the worst adventure I’ve ever been on.”

“You win! Congratulations! I know you put in a lot of hard work, and it really paid off, so, good job!”

“Okay, I’m getting weirded out by whatever this place is.”

“Hang on, that got a little bit weird back there. Well I’d like to apologize.”

“Wait! Cut the music! Go back and look at that fern!”

“Just don’t acknowledge It™ and we should be fine.”

“I’m not your enemy, really, I’m not.”

“Please, stop trying to make every decision by yourself.”

“It’s pretty humiliating to bring you this for only for you to suddenly decide you have better things to do.”

“Are you listening to me? Can you hear me? Is everything alright?”

“So, you hear me? Are you there? Are you listening to this?”

“Listen to my story. This…may be our last chance. “ “Err, ‘helly doo sad wee’ to you, too.” “People die, [name] dances.” “This is my story. It’ll go the way I want it…or I’ll end it here!” “You know…for the first time, I’m glad…to have you as my father."  "I know it sounds selfish, but this is my story!"  "I hate your plan. It sucks."  "You’ll cry. You’re gonna cry. You always cry. See? You’re cryin’."  "Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!"  "Life is but a passing dream, but the death that follows is eternal."  "Even for a little while, people can sleep in their beds without being afraid. That kind of time is worth anything. Don’t say it isn’t worth it.” "Memories are nice, but that’s all they are."  "I shouldn’t have to say this, but don’t fall in love with her."  "No matter how dark the night, morning always comes and our journey begins anew."  "The people and the friends that we have lost…or the dreams that have faded…never forget them.” “Your hope ends here… and your meaningless existance with it!” "They were truly an elegant rage. They threw themselves at me to bar my path. One by one."  "Well, if you’re offering your lives, I will have to take them."  "Hope is…comforting. It allows us to accept fate, however tragic it might be."  "Thinking isn’t solving anything!"  "Every story must have an ending."  "Outside the dream world, life can be harsh–even cruel, but it is life."  "No no no, when I say 'Whats our Goal??’, you say, 'Victory!!!’"  "Touch me with that hand and I’ll remove it.” “If he dies, you’ll never be able to tell him how much you hate him."  "Oh, what’s the matter? Gonna cry again? Cry, cry. That’s the only thing you’re good for!"  "So what’s your goal this time? You gonna 'do your best’ again? Ha! It’s too bad your best isn’t good enough! Why even bother showing up?"  "This plan won’t work, you know that. We’ll just let them dream a little longer."  "Boy, don’t forget those words, 'cause if you do…I’m gonna make you regret it."  "Well, that’s a lame way to kill someone."  "Stay with me till the end. Please."  "I’m scared of lightning! Let’s rest, please? Pretty please?"  "I hadn’t really laughed like that in a long time."  "I want my journey…to be full of laughter."  "You have to choose: die and be free from pain, or live and fight the sorrow!"  "I want to ask you..to be my guardian."  "You’re hiding something from me…"  "I’d tell you if something was wrong."  “I’ve… learned how to smile… Even when I’m feeling sad.” “If we should get separated, just whistle. I’ll come running. I promise.“ “Isn’t it wonderful, to walk together holding hands? I do so want to go, to your city, your house, into your arms.” "It would be so easy to let my fate just carry me away… following this same path my whole life through. But I know I can’t. What I do, I do…with no regrets."  "You are a fading dream, but one that has been touched by reality. Run, dream. Run on into the daylight. And walk into reality."  "It is better to die in hope than live in despair."

“Whoa, when did you get this?”

“Who did this to you?”

“Hold still— I need to clean it.”

“I’m supposed to believe this was an accident?”

“Damn— I’d hate to see the other guy.”

“Does this hurt when I touch it?”

“What the hell, ___? Another fight?”

“What the hell happened to your face?”

“Why are you so calm about this? You’re really hurt.”

“I think your arm is broken. It’s not supposed to bend like that.”

“Here, let me help you with that.”

“You’re bleeding a lot. Too much. Apply more pressure. I’m calling an ambulance.”

“Did you think I was gonna leave you like this?”

“Instead of helping you, they ran off? What an asshole.”

“You need to be more careful. You keep getting hurt like this and you’ll put yourself out of commission.”

“Let me grab the first-aid kit. Don’t move.”

“So, do you wanna explain to me what the hell happened?”

“You look really pale. Sit down. I don’t need you fainting before I get this stitched-up.”

“I’m not blaming you, I’m just saying this looks awfully suspicious.”

“How many of them were there? This doesn’t look like one man’s doing.”

“Sit still. I need to clean this before it gets infected.”

“Wiggle your fingers. I need to make sure it’s not broken.”

“This is gonna hurt. A lot. But it’ll be quick. I need to pop it back into place.”

“I told you not to act recklessly like that. You might think you’re protecting me, but you’re gonna get yourself killed if you keep jumping in like that.”

“That was really close this time. Too close. Please, promise me you’re gonna listen to me and be more careful in the future.”

“okay, so, i was thinking about that time you turned my face pink, and----this is actually a good idea, listen, do you think...” one of don’s hands was gesturing as he spoke, words quick, his train of thought more like a monorail on the perfect day. “...do you think we can capture something like it, and, you know, put it in a container? just, you know, for marking purposes!”

“r u taken?” yes bitch taken for granted

“We must surrender while we still can.” “What are you doing? Why aren’t you on deck with the crew?” “Oh, so you’re a coward, then?“ “Get down!“ “You know who that is out there?“ “Good cooks are in short supply, even for criminals.” “Please, let me inside.“ “Move away from the door!“ “We also know what it’s like to see our brothers die in the service of no end other than a tyrant’s pride.” “This one wants to join. Says he can cook.” “Minor obstacle. But we’re getting close.“ “What a cunning bastard you are.“ “I won’t give you the satisfaction of crying out.” “Justice is about to be done, and you turn your back.“ “No, no. I never said never. I’m too old to be using that word.” “This is one of those times where we pretend that we both don’t know that you’re lying.” “Get the fuck out. You want to run at first sign of trouble, be my guest, but don’t expect me to fucking help you.” “Now what the fuck do you want?“ “When you are strong, you are a necessary evil. When you are not strong, you are likely soon to be dead.” “It’s my money, isn’t it? Must I answer for how I spend it?” “Tell me, what is it that is so precious to you?” “Pleasure should be shared equally. It’s the only way to avoid hurt feelings.” “Look, this deal, it’s really a terrible idea. There are so many ways it could go wrong.” “Me, I can’t help myself. I see an opportunity, I take it. It’s a sickness. Truly. But you, you can still walk away.” “I wondered when this visit would come.” “You’re in a festive mood.“ “You should keep your distance till I signal you to return for me. If anything should happen and I don’t return soon…” “Your man in [LOCATION]. I need you to make an introduction.” “You may have nothing to lose, but I have a future planned I’m not so willing to throw away.” “Let me make myself plain. I will have that name.“ “[NAME]. You’ve caught me at business. I must ask you to return another day.” “Tell me something, [NAME]. Do you have gossip here?“ “Do I even want to know?“ “You are so ready to see the worst you cannot see what is right in front of your nose.” “The world is so full of surprises. Let it surprise you.“ “We have no kings here. I am your king.“
