“I've been thinking every day since coming here. How did things turn out this way? Ruined minds and bodies. People with no freedom left to them. People who have even lost themselves. What kind of person would want to go to war if they knew they were going to end up like this?
But... there was something pushing us all along. Causing us to step right into hell. For most of us that something isn't of our own will. We're forced to by others, or by our environment.
But the kind of hell seen by people who push themselves into it is something else. They also see something beyond that hell. Maybe it's hope. Maybe it's yet another hell.
I don't know which it is. The only people who do know... are the ones who keep moving forward.”

“but everyone is burdened by certain something and they plunge headfirst into hell.
In most cases that something is not their own will, usually it is their environment's or other people's expectations, and that leaves them no choice.
however, but the hell those who choose to burden themselves see is different, on the other side of the hell they can see something.
that thing they see might be hope or it could be just another hell.
But you will never know, unless you keep moving forward.”

“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.”
