Riko Moriyama Quotes

“Neil watched Kevin wilt beneath the weight of his brother’s – no, owner’s – fury and kissed his survival instincts goodbye. He grabbed Riko’s shirt and hauled him back.”

“Neil held on as fiercly as he could; so did Riko. Riko pulled Neil close one last time before the crowd ripped them away from one another, long enough for him to say, „You just cost him something he didn’t want to lose.“

“It'd been years since Neil stood in the same room as Kevin [...]. Everything about him was different. Everything was the same, from his dark hair and green eyes to the black number two tattooed onto his left cheekbone. Neil saw that number and wanted to retch.
Kevin had that number back then, too, but he'd been too young to have it done permanently. Instead he and his adopted brother Riko Moriyama wrote the numbers one and two on their faces with markers, tracing them over and over anytime they started to fade.
Neil didn't understand it then, but Kevin and Riko were aiming for the stars. They were going to be famous, they promised him.”

“Pop, and he was gone. It's impressive, isn't it? How easily these monsters die in the end.”
― Nora Sakavic, The Sunshine Court

“Riko was ash and bone in a decorative urn somewhere”
― Nora Sakavic, The Golden Raven
