Welcome to The World [1.1]

 * Phyllo: Tell me do you know what the difference between mysterious and ecentric is?
 * Haseo: Is Ovan, ecentric?
 * Phyllo: What else do you call a guy who spends all his energy searching for something which most people believe doesn't exist


 * Ovan: You have a gift, Haseo.
 * Haseo: A gift?
 * Ovan: Something completly unique that only you possess.

Twilight Brigade [1.2]

 * Haseo: I heard you're looking for something.
 * Shino:The Key of the Twilight, but that's not all. So, will you answer my question now? You don't have to answer right away.


 * Shino: ...When talking with others, you should look them in the eyes.
 * Haseo: Eyes? This is just a game. Who wants to look at CG eyes?
 * Shino: Perhaps it's because it's a game that you should. People don't feel like talking to you if you're looking away.
 * Haseo: I don't get you.

strong>:Shino': Babies can't speak, so they watch their mother's faces closely. Are you saying you can't do what even a baby can?

Join [1.3]

 * Ovan: Plants are strange things. Even if you've forgotten about the seed, when the season arrives they bud. They drop a seed and it buds again. Water, light and nutrients: as long as they have those, they grow.

 * Ovan: Black.


 * Ovan: I'm just spreading the seeds.

Forefeel [1.4]

 * Haseo: A young girl?
 * Shino: Aura. That's what she was called.

 Ovan: This game has an amazing amount of independence.

Distrust [1.5]

 * Haseo: Hey, just stop following me.
 * Tabby: Its dangerous on your own.
 * Haseo: Well, Sakisaka's by himself.
 * Tabby: No you don't understand. Sakisaka will be fine.
 * Haseo: Why?
 * Tabby: Because he's my teacher. He can't lose.
 * Haseo: You're getting on my nerves.


 * Sakisaka: An unusable item... The Key of the Twilight?
