How many flowers… have you plucked and thrown away… leaving them to shave their heads in despair… and become nuns?
[Feeling at fault after hearing Middle counselor Isonokami had died]
This garden! It’s a fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! All of it! Fake! And so am I!

It is my fault. Because I’m a fake!
