"Every day without handing it over hurts..."
"Time passes."
"The greats of yesteryear leave Us alone. ...For now."
"They think they are the true inheritor to such a sacred spell."
"It belongs to Us."
"Defense Wards on our personage begin to fail, but our infinite healing potential can outrun the damage."
"...How long's the Golem interface say we have left? Any educated guesses on how We can handle it?"
"Don't pick any fights we obviously can't win. Frame's a light-weight."
"That one's easy. What's the hard part?"
"Ironically enough, it needs more Monster pieces for us to keep living as-is. Mild contradiction in Our service. Or..."
"Or what?"
"Or I decentralize control more."
"If we take up more space, though, we know we'll start 'writing over' some of you..."
"I can live with that. But can Andy?"

"It's all happening too soon. We still have a couple hundred years left in us, but if I do nothing, we'll decomish too soon..."

"Can't skip too far ahead in line."

"Hina still hasn't finished up what all we needed to do between Life and the Sun. Doesn't answer back. No clue if I can get enough Soul Shards to enchant my mirror on my own."
"Lady Life and Father Time are stronger, more accepting, more forgiving, more caring, anyway."
"Surely, just farming and mining the years away isn't the only means to progress..."
