"Bright lights, flowers blooming, the smell of fresh pasties in the air, everything perfect; and he was indulging in all of it."

"He, Ellis, consumed such wondrous and new things; each a thing of prepossessing limitlessness."

"Yet his comprehension of the world was not enough; as even he, the primordial being of substantial power, could not understand the wallows of misapprehension that soon feel over him, as he learned that what was truly there was solely but a semblance."

"The sudden nausea that overcame him was odious at its crème de la crème."

"Abhor. Abhor is what he felt about all of this; this place such a horrid and lying place. Everything too... perfect."

"Ellis needed something better, something not as unhealthy and disastrous as the world that he sat in as of now."

"He moved, a thing that hadn't happened to him in a while, to a place of inordinate towns, and inordinate faces, and yet the imperfections is what made it perfect."

And even if some found it quite too "delicate", Ellis still found it quite fun stripping away the identities of individuals.

Rackuru was in a dire situation, as his friend of so many lifespans was missing.

"How very wrong of you to do something of this matter." Zerifck's voice had rung through the well-lit room of the ruler's suite, changing Rackuru's perception of everything.

Two friends, once a matter and being of such common lines of thought, always intercepting, had now turned irreconcilable; the two, never to be close ever again.
