Prologue
"The Knight I'm contracted to is my father... He doesn't really care about me, though..."
"My Dame beats me everyday. She says it's to make up for my uselessness as a Shield..."
"I wonder why I was ever born... No one ever wants to make a contract with a 'defective' Weapon..."
"Why am I different from other Dames...?"
"What's it like to be free? I shouldn't wonder... I won't ever know anyway."
"It hurts... Everything hurts... Someone... Please... Help me..."
"I don't want to be pushed around... But it's cold out here... I won't freeze if I do as he says, will I?"
"People are people... It doesn't matter if you're a Knight, Dame, Weapon, or Shield... At least that's what I think..."
"We'll always be trapped, won't we? A never ending cycle of being used and broken... There's no hope..."
"Please let it end soon... It hurts so much..."
"I want to be a bird... That way, I can fly to the open sky..."
"It's okay to fight back. You are a person, after all. You have rights to be safe and happy."
"If my life ends... Will my suffering also end...? Probably not, huh? Even if I die... I'll still suffer..."
"I want to sleep forever... That way, I won't have to be hurt or used again by anyone, right?"
