Raven: My feelings for Sarah. I was sent here to teach her for God's sake, not moon over her.
Betti: I don't really have any problems I'm ignoring. Just that Handsome won't -
Kalua: stop! Don't you dare say another word. I know where you are going and it is highly inappropriate to discuss in such a location. Betti has no problems. He is simply voicing his complaints about me.

“When Baby and I were only strangers I developed a huge crush on him from the first time I saw him. The problem was I was convinced he was straight, that I had no chance with this beautiful jock boy. I did my absolute best to ignore the feelings and shove them down!
Kyoka: "Hm. I suppose I'm being really passive toward a few people that... don't like my family. I wouldn't say I'm deluding myself that it'll resolve itself. I'm focusing on being nonaggressive to honor my loved ones' wishes. I can handle what comes."

Really I should be proud. It’s very powerful. Heavens got a clear signal
“I rarely ‘ignore’ a problem. Either there’s nothing I can do about it, or there’s more pressing issues at the time. I suppose… my cousin Erina has been having some anger issues lately. I’m sure she’ll be fine, she’s just been going through a lot.”

Rollan:
"There are so many.
But the one that hurts the most is the one I keep making and then keep fucking up. I want it to be true. I want to keep it. I just can't seem to when it matters most.
He hates me. I don't know how he couldn’t. I can't handle it. If he helps and...
Sarah: I might not have ever said the words out loud, but I know I'm letting Raven down by keeping one foot in my old life instead of fully committing to this one. It's just that the idea of failing and not having a safety bet to fall back on...
“I don’t make promises I know I can’t keep. I’ve certainly made promises that I couldn’t keep, but not because I didn’t try or didn’t want to. I want people to trust that I will always do my best to live up to my word, even if it doesn’t work out for some reason or another.”
"I don't make promises—after all, my word is known to be worthless.
But when I was 11, I was made to swear not to raise arms against Parliament. Technically, I never did—but when I came of age in the Protectorate, you can be sure I made all sorts of other trouble for the Puritans."

"Oh man, I do the crap all the time. Like, some clingy charity dork is begging me to show up for some boring fund-raiser thing. So I'll be all "oh yeah, totally, no problem"... bitch I ain't gonna be there. I've got like, important hero shit to do. Or I just don't wanna, whatever."
