“The line between friends and enemies is usually very thin. In a realm where the delicate dance between love and infatuation often blurs and reasoning grapples with the tides of emotion, *a man must become a blacksmith of his own soul.* He Must wield his reasoning as a hammer to forge his emotions, upon the anvil of self-awareness. Each strike of the brain-hammer reverberates with clarity, tempering the heart’s wild impulses, separating the enduring glow of love from the fleeting flicker of infatuation. Sparks of illusion scatter while the tongs of introspection hold the heart steady, ensuring that only genuine emotion is shaped by the steady hand of reason in this crucible of inner truth”

“«Ma a cosa serve incontrarli se smetteranno di cantare?!» grida Ambra con una potenza di voce tale da farci allontanare tutte di scatto come per un’esplosione. «A cosa serve se non faranno più musica?» chiede poi con un tono di voce nuovamente umano. La domanda però cade nel silenzio, senza risposte. Perché saremo anche cresciute e cambiate, ma non abbastanza da dimenticare cosa vuol dire avere quindici anni e il mondo contro. Non abbastanza da non ricordare la sensazione di essere prese per mano dalla voce di qualcuno che nemmeno parla la tua lingua ma sa cantare tutti i tuoi tormenti e renderli in qualche modo più accettabili. Sono passati sette anni da quando abbiamo sentito per la prima volta Alone, la loro canzone di debutto, e ancora penso che senza quella canzone noi non saremmo qui. Insieme e non da sole. Perché la musica ha davvero il potere di unire le persone e il K-pop funziona come il Super Attak. Con noi l'ha fatto. E se non avete idea di cosa sto parlando, mi spiace per voi.”
