    A Balloon Man

    "A long time there... there was a balloon man, right? When I first heard that story, I was so stupid that I actually enjoyed it... but really, the story was horrible. Driven solely by his dreams he used his balloons to disappear into the sky. The people watching made a big fuss about it... but no one really tried to stop it. There's no telling where the wind will take you. And he knew that one day his fuel, his ''freedom'' would run out, and he'd fall into the black ocean. To fly... that feeling is the most important thing. But instead of the dark clouds that drive people from the sky... there must be a chain to keep them grounded. The time will come, for those with the ability to fly away, while everyone else can only watch. Using their own wings, their own power... soaring as far as they can without aid. Because... because that is what it means to fly."

    Domain Of Sky

    "Then I ask you, what do you define as the beginning of the sky? At one hundred meters or even one thousand meters, it isn't much different from right here. The sole difference is the air density and water concentration. So, this is where sky begins. Anything above the earth belongs to the domain of sky."

    I Always Wanted To Ask

    "From the past... I always wanted to ask. God, why... are you so unfair and extremely cruel? Why do you separate those who can fly... and those who cannot and bring them into existence? Why, in this one world... you made the effort to divide them into two and bring them together? In reality everyone was born with wings! Why didn't I realize that until now? It's not that those who can fly are able to fly, but that those who think of flying... those who believe they can fly are the ones who can fly."
