“People bring the small flames of their wishes together—since they don’t want to extinguish the small flame—they’ll bring that small flame to a bigger fire. A big flame named Griffith. But you know, I didn’t bring a flame with me. I think I just stopped by to warm myself by the bonfire.”

“Look, look around carefully. Strain your eyes. At the darkness around us—at the darkness—around me. You said, ‘anywhere but here.’ This is where. Here at the border. Gathered by the winds. Those who’ve met their final destiny hanging between jealousy and regret. Those who failed swept together here. You say ‘It doesn’t matter where.’ If you follow me, this is where you’ll go! This is your Eden! You run from it. It is no Eden. If you follow me to this place the entire world is a battlefield.”
