(this one isn't technically shounen ai… but I have to include this character)

I ran a nail through the man (don't mention Freud) and he still thinks of me as some sort of poser in a saucy little hat.

I'm still His right hand woman though, and certain amber-eyed psychics had better not forget that.

Well, as the song goes "I am what I am, I don't want praise, I don't want pity." But a little respect from certain circles might not come amiss.

It doesn't matter anymore, I don't need the cards to tell me that Ragnarok is at hand. They asked me why… look at the Master and tell me yourself.

(song of course is "I Am What I Am" from the musical La Cage Aux Folles, by Jerry Herman)

Explanatory Note: In the manga, Knives' right hand person is Elendira, who was born a man but lives as a woman, and fights people including Legato with giant nails.
