Leave it all to me. I am your memory and your heart...
There is forgiveness... It's not hard. Forgiveness... All you have to do is give up one room to hate.
Did you hear what I said? There's an eraser in my head...
What use is happiness and what is love when memories are disappearing? You don't need to be nice to me! I would have forgotten everything...
I will soon forget everything... Even if he is next to me, I won't know why he is there... He won't be in my head. I don't have one either. Do you know what I mean? When the memory disappears, the soul disappears too.. I’m scared..
