"One day I hope that we can live without worrying about their shadow hanging over us. We can go out and not have to worry about them trying to trick and trap us."

"And you just need me to be good while you do this so that they don't notice anything funny," The Beast reaches down and wraps Dia's stray bang around his finger, giving it a light pull. "In any event, He will be of more use to you than me. Fine, just so that I can come out and kill the bastards when the time comes. It is what I am best at anyway."
