    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”

    “Don’t be afraid to love someone. When you fall in love, I want you to fall in love all the way. Even if it ends in heartache, please don’t live a lonely life without love. I’ve been so worried that because of what happened you’ll give up on falling in love. Love is wonderful. I don’t want you to forget that. Those memories of people you love, they never disappear. They go on warming your heart as long as you live. When you get old like me, you’ll understand.”
