⎯ [...] "If it was an angel, they would use the divine blade in their hand. There would be no reason for them to wait until someone is alone to kill them in some physical manner." ⎯ [...] "If this was the work of man, then that would mean the killer was one of us. But that's impossible. There is no reason for us to kill one another. The angel would have a motive, though. We are sinners who disobeyed the angel, and it is an angel's job to purge those who have done evil. To look at it from another perspective, all twelve of us are the same. We have all sinned, and we are connected through our fear of the angel. What would killing a fellow runaway help?" ⎯ [...] "O Lord, we have sinned, You have clipped us of our wings and left us on this planer to punish us. Wasn't that enough to atone? Why must we suffer such cruelty?" -Page 115-116

⎯ "It has begin. We angels - we wingless, fallen angels - are about to be killed off, one by one, by the true angels in heaven." ⎯ "How foolish. If the executor were an angel, they would have no trouble killing us. They'd need only play their trumpets. They would have no reason to resort to physical means. This is a serial murder meant to look like an angel's bidding, carried out by someone here." ⎯ "Is that not foolish in itself? We have no reason to kill one another. What good would it do us to kill our own kind?" ⎯ "What do you think, Leader?" ⎯ "Leader!" ⎯ "Leader!" ⎯ "Leader!" ⎯ "Is this the punishment given to us fallen angels for adoring humanity? Angels have been sent from the heavens to purge us. They are called 'Gifted.'" ⎯ "Gifted?" ⎯ "We are humans. We are of the earth, having rejected being angels and choosing to become human. We dream, we love, and seek fulfillment possible only because we are finite." ⎯ "And we do not regret that decision." ⎯ "To choose one's own way of being is the truest form of the soul." ⎯ "Indeed. And angels and humans are of entirely different dimensions." ⎯ "Angels cannot have the fulfillment, which is the realm of humanity, and humans are incapable of the supremacy of angels. Those who control humans from the outside and those who enjoy fulfillment on the inside are like an author and their characters: never shall they intertwine. And yet…" ⎯ "And yet?" ⎯ "There are those who, despite being human, have some fragment of angels' forbidden supremacy." (inaudible from this point who's talking) That is, oh, that is truly the cursed soul that we call Gifted. None of us can possibly be as sinful as the Gifted. The accursed Gifted snuff us out one by one like prey for the hunt. We must find these Gifted. No, perhaps we must first hire a detective?

does anyone remember if the lines in the stage play were changed from the light novel? i read it recently, but i have the impression they altered them to make them more relevant to the current arc, although i might be misremembering

on another note, that would be a banger play and asagiri should write it
