To Bird Allen Poe

"Allen Poe? Sounds like a story-telling name." "Actually, it comes from a poet, but that's pretty much it. That poet did write a lot of novels." "Poet... No wonder it doesn't sound like you can think of it yourself." "Honestly, I don't know who named me. My memory tells me that it was my parents who have never met. But you know, I'm not even sure they actually existed. " "Sounds like you're denying your past?" "Maybe, after all, there is nothing worth saving in my past." "I don't recommend you do this. No matter how false the past is, it is still warm compared to the future blocked by darkness." "You make it sound like I'm a pessimist caught in a nihilistic trap." "Using the standards of mystical scholars to measure mental problems is too lenient. In the eyes of ordinary people, you are just a mentally ill person with a brain problem." "You actually compare me to a bunch of lunatics?" "We've been one of them for a long time, Bird."
