“I conducted as much research as possible. But I couldn't fix you.'
There was a long silence before The Mouse spoke again.
'I wanted to fix you".”
― Sanaka Hiiragi, The Lantern of Lost Memories

“Santa had once existed. He died when Violette stopped believing in him. Every year, millions of Santas are born and killed at the same time. Every child must kill Santa on the road to adulthood. Little do children know, Santa is just the beginning. There are plenty of others after him, whom children kill without a sound. Without knowing. That is why every child gets lonelier and lonelier as they grow up. The vacancy cannot simply be filled by another human being. People are not as kind or loyal as those creatures of imagination whom the child has killed. An empty heart is the penalty for killing those who’ve stuck with them.”
― Cheon Seon-ran, The Midnight Shift

“I miss them. Miss isn't the right word. I miss them the way you miss water in a desert. I miss them the way children miss their parents, the way I miss Mrs. Wexler, the way I miss things being easy and clouds being below me. They way you miss things you don't know how to be without, but you know they're never coming back.”
― Sarah Moon, Sparrow

“Quand nous sommes seuls longtemps, nous peuplons le vide de fantômes.”
