“If there were no consequences, he would surely chuck his phone at the person pressing the doorbell. But Ran lived in a world shaped by choices and consequences, so he chose to answer the phone. He wanted to believe that he had a choice between the two most unpleasant things that could happen simultaneously.”
Byrd Koto, Our Funny Love Story

“What would you say if no one were watching? Something funny, so the night becomes less lonely?”
