You and I who read and write books have very little effect upon language. We may think about it, write about it, and read about it, but it goes on without us, or in spite of us.

Sorry, I'm not interested. With a curious look, he pleasantly rejected me under the streetlights that cold concert night. I asked for his name, and he told the truth.
The Chase
So I wanna see you when I fall asleep, and I do but only on the days I dream, so if you'd be so kind as to let me show you how I love allenly, I would be the happiest girl you've seen!
Miracle Musical
- Stranded Lullaby
I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea. Maybe we'll be there when you want. You're unsure if I am a loose end or strand that waits for you to mend or understand.

Strikeemblem, how do you do it? How have you completed so many quotes? How do you still? Let's all strive to be like strikeemblem. He is the key hero.

He walked down the orchestra hall after getting his violin at the end of the day. I don't remember what his violin case looked like. He looked small and unassuming.
November 2021
I was in the hallway between the orchestra room and the auditorium, kneeling and unpacking my violin. He came bursting out of the orchestra room, and I looked up, and he looked down, and I looked horrible.
Music: An Appreciation

At one of the first music therapy club meetings, the attendance sheet was being passed around. I sat behind him, and he twisted around to pass the sheet to me, and we made eye contact for a moment. His handwriting looked like a font.

You met the girl under full bloomed cherry blossoms, and your fate has begun to change. Your friends are here. Time to go down the well worn path from monotone to colorful. Follow the spring wind down to either devastating or wonderful.

- Spring Wind
Tears well in her eyes, tears roll down her face. I must have blown too hard, she laughs, if that's the case. The kids join in, making music and fun. How picturesque, you think, and your flip phone snaps one.

- Spring Wind
Atop the dome, there she stands. There she skips. There her hands flutter over the keys, spring wind tickling her hair. The kids cheer for her, but she sees you there.

Down the well worn path from monotone to colorful, walk your way down to either devastating or wonderful. The sweetest melody to rouse each and every bird. In no corner of the park was her melody unheard.
milli
A breeze in the air, some cloth in your hand. Pink petals drifting to the sound of her band. The sound of love strikes just like your friend said, so you search for the love that rings in your head.
Miracle Musical
- Stranded Lullaby
There's a still tension in the swell of dreamt debris afloat amidst the waves, and then dispel. Aimless thoughts and papers blown around. A million moments meant remembered rest in deep dark sound.
Your Lie in April
- Kaori Miyazono
By exchanging notes... your souls were connected and your hearts overlapping. It's a conversation through instruments. A miracle that creates harmony. At that moment, music transcends words.

Hey there. It's been a while, huh? I'm for real real. I'm still alive and kicking! Exactly. When you stabbed me through the throat, I gave up on counterattacking and poured all of my focus into the reversed cursed technique. Cursed energy is negative energy. While it can enhance the body, it can't regenerate it. So, you multiply that negative energy against itself to create positive energy. That's the reversed cursed technique! Easier said than done! I could never do that till now!

Goddess, sing of the cataclysmic wrath of great Achilles, son of Peleus, which caused the Greeks immeasurable pain and sent so many noble souls of heroes to Hades.

Hey Nana, the midsummer flowers are blooming along the Tama River again this year. We're all waiting for you in apartment 707. I had matching yukata made for us too.
