For anyone who has ever feared they won’t find true love 

▪ “The truth is never what you want it to be, Little Fox.” 

▪ “I know, love. I’m going to take you somewhere safe.” 

▪ “Life is not a kind storyteller. And I’m not meant to be a savior.” 

▪ “Tonight, you saved me.” 

▪ “In the morning, you can forget it. You can go back to pretending you don’t like me, and I can pretend that I don’t care. But for tonight, let me pretend you’re mine.” 

▪ She fell and fell and fell, trapped by Time until the end of Time. 

▪ She meant to say, For tonight, I’m yours, but all that came out was “I’m yours.” 

▪ “Sorry to break your fairytale, Little Fox, but ballads don’t end happily, and neither do the two of us.” 

▪ “Since then, every girl I’ve kissed has died, except for one. And you are not that girl.” 

▪ Chaos was Castor Valor. 

▪ “There is nothing of equal value to me.”
