Instinctive Habit (Katekyo Hitman Reborn: Hibari Kyoya and Dino Lead)

If paying for a father's debts is merely an ineradicable instinct rooted in the human heart, then falling in love with you was an instinct from deep within me that I never expected.

--Dino's chapter

I should have known that some instincts and habits would exist for as long as you lived in this world. The instinct to survive, the urge for revenge, love turning to hate... Escape velocity can break free of the sun's gravity, but it cannot escape the universe.

--Hibari's chapter

If we have no pursuits and no goals, then do we live because of the instinct to survive, or because of our instinctive fear of death and the unknown?

The habits that keep us alive sustain all kinds of instincts waiting to be uncovered and verified. Likewise, our instincts are proof that we possess those habits.

I have always believed that the greater a person's soul, the stronger their inertia, and the harder it is to change what they stand by and cling to. The denser a person's soul, the stronger their instincts, and the more fiercely they will bend to defend the truth.
