Fred's Rants
Buildings can be rebuilt, no matter what the size. The void in sky is not just the absence of buildings, but the loss of faith in the human conscience. We hold out hope that this, too, can be rebuilt." Monday afternoon I was laid off."

 * "Dealing with the constant conflict between the time Megatokyo needs, the time my day job as an architect requires, and the small in-between moments that are left for Seraphim and myself... I won't lie, it's been a hard balancing act. But it's always been worth it, because i feel that Megatokyo is something to be proud of (even with all it's problems). Unfortunately, something happened Monday that changed this balance drastically...

 * "There are no ski lifts in the world of creativity. You gotta haul your own ass up the slope every time you want to come back down it. It's not so bad, the more you climb up, the stronger you get, and the higher you can go, which makes for better runs."

 * "Life is about contrast. You can usualy find humor in almost everything you do. Sometimes, things just aren't funny."
 * Source: Megatokyo Forums: Humor
 * "What you say in the games is scripted, and the actions the protagonist takes are often things that a player might wish he'd do, but often never would in real life. Hell, just the act of talking to a girl, something that seems to happen in these games without thought, is something most players are almost incapable of doing. Add to that the fact that you are often dealing with several girls, all of whom you are chasing to one degree or another. Maybe the problem isn't that the situations in the games (lots of girls who may be interested in you) isn't phony, maybe it's the actions of the protagonist (guided by the player) that are the biggest fantasy of all."

 * "Sometimes you just gotta go with whatya got! Pathetic people need love too!"

 * Contested. A little earlier in the story, Seraphim's sister was revealed to the readers, and a little later, in the same place in the shop, we see that "Seraphim" forcibly removed from her spot by another "Seraphim", differently clad. She also behaves and dresses very differently from Seraphim or her "evil twin," and lacks the bandage Seraphim is wearing at the time. Most readers thus believe her to be a third sister (who has not been seen outside of this scene, and was only shown interacting with Piro.)
