Greetings to our friends in the stars. We wish that we will meet you someday. Greetings from a computer programmer in the little university town of Ithaca on the planet Earth. Hi. How are you? Wish you peace, health, and happiness.

Anthy, the woman in absolute. Her strange and eternal adolescence. The omnipresent hatred the world bears her – for who she is, for what she does, for how her body is made to move.

Because here’s what I need to tell you, Dimitri: Leon died. You missed the funeral. And I’m fucking pissed at you. I hope you get this. Love, Nica

A challenge was more familiar to him than love, and felt close to the same thing, as though one led to the other. He felt his heart beat to the double time of two words.

Whenever you’re ready. Don’t worry, honey. I’ll keep the home fires burning.

Venus, planet of love, was destroyed by global warming. Did its people want too much too? Did its people want too much?

All my life, I’ve lived above the ground, car wheels over paved roads, roots breaking through concrete, and still I’ve not understood the reel of this life’s purpose. Not so much living, but a hovering without sense.

Is that why you haven’t written to me at all, only to Leon? Leon, who would never have believed half your stories.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.

LEON: It was never supposed to be forever. Michael, please: don’t do this forever.

You truly are a prisoner of fate. In the near future, there is no mistake that ruin awaits you.

Which is more important to you? Me or petty vengeance?

I don’t want a king, Baru thought. And then, against the iron cells of her self restraint - I know what I want.

JOKER: We’re rivals, aren’t we? AKECHI: ....!

CASPAR: Looks like we ended up on opposing sides, Linhardt! LINHARDT: Certainly seems that way. I could almost weep over how things turned out. Do you realize, Caspar, that this is the first time we've ever fought? CASPAR: Yeah, you're right. The first and probably the last!

RYUJI: Well, how ‘bout you, then? You’re the one we’re most curious about. You doin’ okay back home? JOKER: I missed you… RYUJI: Well, I’ve been gettin’ by too, but… Without you around, it’s sorta like stuff is just kinda… bleh.

She lived in this dark place, a dark county in a dark state, and it pressed on her ceaselessly as a girl until she finally realized in a moment of prescience that someday adulthood would come with its great shuddering release and she would be free.

The reason why Nanami is so crucial in understanding this is that while the other four characters are series staples, she is necessary to round out the non-Utena quartet; to complete the circle.

Candeloro. The witch of dress-up, with an inviting nature. A kind-hearted witch who dreams of ideal things. This witch can't stand being lonely, and never lets visitors to her barrier escape.

so long and good night :(
