Ayanokouji Quotes

I’ve never once thought of you as an ally. Not you. Not Kushida. Not Hirata. All people are nothing but tools. It doesn’t matter how its done. It doesn’t matter what needs to be sacrificed. In this world, winning is everything. As long as I win in the end…That’s all that matters.

At any rate, humans change over time based on their actions. Truth be told, at the end of the day, equality is just a fantasy. And most of us go through life denying the fact that we live in a meritocracy.

Confessing your feelings to someone isn’t an easy thing. You spend every day in anguish, yet you still can’t do it. The words “I love you” hang in your throat, and you can’t seem to force them out. I think her earnest feelings deserve a proper answer, don’t you?

You may come to regret trying to manipulate me.

By the way, Ayanokouji, what are you doin’?” asked Ryuuen suspiciously, watching me pour some water into the remaining one-fifth of my coffee that was still in my cup.

There was no need for others to acknowledge my achievements. I understood and analysed myself as a person superior to anyone else.

After finishing the call, I felt a subtle change in my emotions within the empty room. Manipulating others with my own words. That is, for me, classified as 'fun' behavior. It didn't matter if the words were true or false. The fact that I even found the other’s attempts to manipulate me 'fun.' I even wanted to welcome being deceived unknowingly. To know and learn about people. To be taught. Many more people—or perhaps, bigger and unknown, giant opponents. If I could control and master such people, I couldn't help but think it would be even more enjoyable.

The sight reminded me of something I often saw in the past. The failures would always look back on their miserable situation and be filled with regret, even though it was too late for them. It was just as true here in this school as it was in the White Room.
