"I realized one morning…
that I hate this world.
This world is made of countless boxes.
People bend and stuff their bodies into their own boxes.
And stay there for the rest of their lives.
And eventually, inside the box, they forget:
What they looked like.
What they loved; who they loved.
That’s why I’m getting out of my box.
I’m one of the chosen.
That’s why I’m going to destroy this world.

Human beings are such inconvenient creatures.
Why, you ask?
Because they can never escape the box called ‘self’.
Those boxes don’t protect us.
They take things precious to us away.
Even if someone was next to you,
you can’t tear down the wall and bond.
We’re all alone.
We will never gain anything inside our boxes.
There are no exits.
No one can save you.
So, we can only destroy…
the boxes,
the people,
THE WORLD!"

"I want to beat them. Even though I'm not cool, or strong, or just, or beautiful, or cute, or pretty, I want to beat the cool, strong, just, beautiful, cute, and pretty people. Even though I wasn't blessed with talent, even though I'm stupid and have a bad personality, have bad grades, am misguided and am a good for nothing, I want to beat the talented, smart, likeable, overachieving people. I want to beat those with friends when I can't have friends. I want to beat the people who work hard when I can't work hard. I want to beat the the victorious people when I can't win. I want to beat the happy people when I'm miserable. Even if I'm hated, even if I'm despised, even if I'm useless, I want to prove that I'm better than the main characters!"
