JADE: you keep talking about something being wrong with us, yet not once have you asked yourself what we all have in common!!!!
JOHN: you can't blame the game for everything.
JOHN: playing it saved us!
JADE: children shouldnt have to make other children, or kiss the corpses of their friends, or know what it feels like to die!!!

JADE: to grow up like real people do and be... actually FUCKING normal!
JOHN: jade, your daughter has dog ears and a tail.
JOHN: she's never going to be normal!
