Quotes

 * (To Ten) “No, no, it’s not that I don’t think you’re capable, even without your sight. But you can’t. She’s your friend. You care about her. She cares about you. People who care about each other don’t hurt each other.”undefined
 * (To Ten) “Who gives a damn what she wants? She doesn’t… you two don’t… you’re too young to understand… you’ve been through things most adults haven’t and will never go through, you’ve survived, you’ve proven your strength, but there’re things that only adults, or rather, people who’ve experienced life at its best and worst can tell you. I ain’t a…a fuckin’ therapist but I’ve known Seven for three years, going on four, now. She’s a good person, she really is, but she doesn’t think so. She doesn’t believe she’s worth anything anymore and that the world has nothing more to offer her than loss and hurt. You think that you’ve seen the world, you think it’s all darkness and that people aren’t worth caring for. And I won’t lie, this world is a shithole, and the people in it are the ones who make it like that. You know that better than anyone. But don’t fucking give up on it yet. Don’t give up on people, Ten. If you care about her, fight for her.”undefined
 * (To Ten) “Bullshit. Complete bullshit. You’re just trying to justify it to yourself. I won’t ask you to admit it. But I know it. You don’t want to kill her and she doesn’t want to die. All I ask is that you think about this. You want to leave this place and she wants Six dead. But she doesn’t have to die for either of those goals to be met, does she?”undefined
