“The Man鈥檚 upturned blue eyes were so unimaginably beautiful that they could make anybody tremble with awe. In this moment, however they also glimmered with an icy fire, perhaps revealing the fury of his wounded pride, or rather, a manifestation of his uncontrollable obsession.”

“Unshackled freedom鈥� did not mean doing whatever a person felt like without outside interference. To take up the reins of freedom, it was necessary to respect the rule of law and to cooperate. Otherwise, a person could cry 鈥榝reedom鈥� until he was blue in the face and his ideals would remain idle visions.”

“Translucent golden hair. Finely-textured white skin. Moist red lips. Delicate and youthful features that made sexual identity difficult to discern, but contradictorily, at the same time cast off a strange and alluring charm that sent a chill up the spine.”

“The greatest thrill and the biggest turn-on is the power over life and death.”

“That in time good and evil should become accommodated to each other is perhaps only human nature. Take things far enough and evil becomes good. Against the backdrop of such a reality, human character was no doubt likely to come up short as the wheels of reason spun off their bearings.”

“So Tanagura attempted to bring to pass even greater prosperity by repudiating the shackles of flesh and blood that defined the boundaries of human existence and rejecting the limits of human mortality.

Quite simply, none other but this deformed conclusion could have ever been born out of the wild delusions of Jupiter鈥檚 ego. Therein was a reality, a glimpse of an eventual future in which human beings, who were bound by the irrevocable limits of death, would be brought forth to serve immortal machines.”

“Luke snorted with derision. 鈥榃hat it comes down to is, they鈥檙e just a bunch of horny, fucked up, nouveau riche types. Aside from the fact that we fuck ourselves up on stout instead, there鈥檚 no big difference between us and them.”

“Kirie didn鈥檛 know that he was a frog stuck at the bottom of a well. He didn鈥檛 even comprehend the nature of this dumping ground in which he vented his excessive passions. He grasped only the illusions crawling out of the bottom of a bottle of stout as he gasped for air.”

“He was far beyond being fed up with it all, to the point that his simmering irritation was close to boiling over. He would be a slave to no one. No shackles would bind his hands and feet. He would be free, and yet the fetters of the past that he wished to fast aside instead held him fast, an invisible weight burdening his every step.”

“The flower had unexpectedly fallen to the ground at their feet. Rather than picking it up and loving it, they would rather trample it into the mud. Countless numbers had become slaves to that kind of perverse pleasure.”

“Riki set off fully aware of the past, but with his eyes set firmly on the future. When he鈥檇 left Guy he鈥檇 made a vow. 鈥極nly a loser stops to look back.”

“Right under their noses was Midas, clad in its gaudy neon robes day and night. The harlot teased at their hearts but would never invite them back inside the citadel.”

“One day it suddenly awakened to the truth of its own existential reality. Its so-called human 鈥榗reators鈥� could only regard what ensued as the crazed behavior of a lunatic. Declared the computer:

鈥極nly those fit to exercise power should wield it.”
