"You two will never find peace in any lifetime. Like the flowers on opposite banks of the River of Forgetfulness, you will gaze at each other forever, yet never be together. This is fate, and nothing can be done."
"Fate? How ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"
"Even if it's ridiculous, what can you do about it?"
"If fate toys with me, I'll defy it. If Heaven oppresses me, I'll trample Heaven! In this life, I'll wield my blade to slay the azure skies, then drink beneath the moon and sing as I please!"
