"I suppose being ridiculously earnest could be considered a virtue, but... you should give up on me already. I'm not going to change how I feel—or how I act—no matter what you say."
"I get it... you're radiant."
"Your ears are bright red. (...) I did it on purpose. In case it annoyed you." (—Licht trying to make Emma give up on him by annoying her)
"...Thanks for the sweets. (...) Especially these. They were good." (—Licht appreciating Emma's darioles)
"If you get lost in the crowd, who do you think has to find you?"
"...You're imagining things. (...) I'm the same as I always am." (—Licht being bashful after talking passionately about the theatre troupe)
"My body is covered in scars. You're not used to that sort of thing. I figured it'd bother you. I appreciate the thought, though."
"We're twins, Nokto and I. One of us brings good fortune, and one brings bad. (...) No matter where I go, I cause sorrow to everyone around me. It's clear which sort of fortune I bring. (...) If all I do is cause everyone sorrow... there's no point to me even being alive..."
"I'm begging you... stay away from me."
"This is for you. (...) Your hair clip broke when that cart almost ran you over, didn't it? (...) Anyway... that's why I went into town first thing, before my day started." (—Licht gifting a hair clip to Emma)
"You're going back to the palace, right? I'll walk you partway there."
"...So in other words, you want me to go to this social function with you. (...) I think... ...No."
"Give me back the woman I love." (—Licht to the obsidianite carriage driver who tried to harm Emma)
"After Mama died, Nokto spent less and less time at the palace, and... I discovered what loneliness felt like. We'd spent our lives together, every waking moment, and... it was hard to be without him. It hurt, every single day."
"Just by living, I bring sorrow to everyone around me, and even if I die, I'll still bring sorrow to everyone around me. I don't know what's best, or what's right... I don't know how to atone... I don't know anything..."
"Maybe... I've just been using that old saying... as an excuse to avoid everything. I killed my mother... I ruined Nokto's life... I put you in danger... I don't really believe that I can... make anyone happy."
"I feel kind of pathetic. (...) It's like I'm only ever showing you the worst sides of me."
"When I'm with you... it almost feels like I'm starting to find all the emotions I lost when I was a boy. Pleasure, delight, happiness... A sinner doesn't deserve to feel those things. So I gave them all up. But you always affect me. You mess with my heart. That's why I hate you."
"I wanna hug... Please?"
"Rather than losing myself and aggravating your injury, I'm going to please you even more than usual. I can satisfy you just like this. ...Or do you dislike this kind of service, my lady?"
"You should get some rest. I'll see you back to the palace. There's nothing you can do for him by being here. ...If you're that worried, I'll keep an eye on him." (—Licht reassuring Emma in Rio's route)
"You're so lovely, and so kind, and so warm, and so kind, and so lovely... Hang on..."
"And the seventh is a good-for-nothing womanizer." (—Licht describing Nokto)
"I just remembered how I used to fall asleep when you were explaining military jargon to me. (...) And you never woke me up. You're weirdly nice sometimes." (—Licht to Chevalier)
"I want to become like you. You can dazzle anybody with your strength, and you can see the path to victory in any situation. That's what I need to be, too. I'd never say that to his face, though. That's so embarrassing." (—Licht thinking about Chevalier)
"I punched a whole bunch of Tanzanitian princes. (...) I solved things with my fists." (—Licht talking about his own diplomacy tactics to Nokto)
"Nokto is the only person I can tell something like this to." (—Licht's thoughts)
"I can't believe I'm taking Nokto's advice. Something's got to be wrong with me. But I don't think he was wrong. If I can get her body to be addicted to mine, then her heart won't leave, either." (—Licht's thoughts about Emma)
"I want you to be so obsessed with me that you can't bear to be apart from me ever again." (—Licht's thoughts)
"I want you to adore me so much that you can't think straight." (—Licht's thoughts)
"Keep paying attention to me. Keep adoring me. Keep loving me." (—Licht's thoughts)
"I just don't believe in God's good faith. Besides, my only god is Emma. I believe in her over any Tanzanitian God, even the God incarnate. (...) You don't want to pay the price for manipulating my God, either." (—Licht to Azel)
"You're more normal than people think." (—Licht to Clavis)
"Keep paying attention to me. Keep adoring me. Keep loving me." (—Licht's thoughts)
"I can't help it. I just want to kiss you every time I see you."
"You were super cute."
"Duh." (—Licht's reaction to the soldiers talking about him and Emma being so in love)
"No. No carrots." (—Licht reacting to Yves saying every steak pie needs carrots and peas)
"My goal is to get better at cooking. I want to at least be able to crack an egg without dirtying the wall."
"Ngh... Stop laughing, you... demon." (—Licht to Chevalier mocking him)
"I... I hate women like you."
"I adore you... So much that words aren't enough. Please stay with me forever more."
"I want Emma to see me as a romantic interest. Not as a friend. How do I do that? (...) ...I don't know why I bothered asking you." (—Licht to Nokto)
"When I think about how you never give up, even when things go wrong, and how you're always so optimistic about the future— I'm finally realizing... I've just been running away, all this time. (...) There's nothing more pathetic than the idea of me giving up and running away while everyone else is still fighting."
"Would it be okay if I... visited you sometimes? ...No, it's cruel of me to even ask, isn't it?" (—Licht to Emma once her stay at the palace comes to an end)
"...He was right. They're really nonsensical. But there's one thing that's clear to me from reading them. ...She really did love us." (—Licht talking about his mother's letters)
"I don't know how to find happiness without you."
"...I've never seen one before. (...) To me, you were like that rainbow, even at the start. Always too beautiful, and too bright. (...) Now... this particular light is something I treasure." (—Licht seeing his first rainbow with Emma)
"Don't use Nokto as bait." (—Licht to Chevalier)
"You're so cute it's criminal."
"Feels weird to be called 'cute'. I'm an adult. And engaged."
"I kept trying to figure out how I could have you all to myself, without them interrupting us. And eventually I had an idea. (...) I realized I just had to build a place that's just for us."
"But so long as I have you, nothing's ever rough."
"That night, I had a dream. The start was the same as the dream I knew so well. A figure lay in the middle of that vivid crimson spectacle, and it should have been my mother. I felt suddenly cold and empty. All my calm vanished, and I ran to her side, but the woman lying in the pool of blood had turned into the woman I loved most. The sound that escaped my lips in that moment was strong enough to tear the whole world apart." (—Licht's thoughts)
