1.If the first step of this adventure
2.Could somehow be taken without a scratch
3.Then surely, I’d never be alone
4.But I’d never become anyone either5.
6.The stones come flying
7.Far more than I ever imagined
8.But it didn’t hurt as much as throwing them would have
9.Because I’d already imagined it so many times10.
11.Would running away make things easier…?
12.No, deep down, I already know
13.There’s no such thing as an easy path
14.Only backward or forward, nothing else15.
16.So go on
17.Laugh at us who’ve plunged deeper, Monster
18.Darkness or light, it doesn’t matter
19.I just want, want, simply want to do this
20.A QUEST with my friends21.
22.Since the day I grasped the hand you offered, everything’s been more colorful
23.Once more, Enchant, buddy
24.Step forward, Practice magic25.
26.ROLE: GREY
27.At first, we had no roles at all. But I’m sure, in that moment…
28.That was when we found our place29.
30.If seeds of trust bloom through believing
31.Then water must be the courage to risk being deceived
32.And light, perhaps, is time itself
33.No matter where I search within my heart
34.I can’t find it alone
35.Ah… to live is to search
36.And to find it together with someone, surely, that’s it37.
38.The easier it seems to offer your hand
39.The more it shows your courage continues on
40.Even though buds are destined to bloom and fall
41.Why do they bloom at all?
42.I want to give you a flower that never fades43.
44.Even if the world is filled with more absurdity than expected, that’s fine
45.Let me ignore the walls, the roads, the goals
46.That were all too clearly laid before us
47.That’s the QUEST48.
49.By believing in someone
50.For the first time, I felt I could stand on my own feet
51.Once more, Enchant, buddy
52.Step forward, Practice magic53.
54.Confidence earned with no mistakes
55.What is it that it really protects?
56.No wonder we all keep saving…57.
58.To the hearts that seem to crack so easily
59.To the hearts that lament, thinking it’s over once they shatter
60.Laugh at that armored youth, Monster
61.Laugh at those spotless shoes that have never known dirt, Monster62.
63.“Go on living scared of loss forever, you glass fools!”
64.With wounds that won’t heal, secrets we can’t tell
65.How far can you run in boots with no stain?
66.It’s the tattered hearts that turn into weapons, surely colorful
67.One more step, Enchant, buddy
68.Step forward, Practice magic69.
70.ROLE: GREY
71.At first, we had no roles at all
72.But your place had been there since that moment
73.When our eyes first met
74.And this time, it’s your turn
75.To lift the face of someone looking down76.
