"Besides, this stuff is just like money. You can't take it with you when you're born, but... you actually *can* take it with you when you die. But I'm still young and have no plans to go see my great-grandma so soon. If I use it up, I can just earn more. Money—no, wait, Merit—is something you can always earn more of."

"It's the middle of the New Year! You have no filter at all, saying such unlucky things!"
Arabella Donovan stuck out her tongue, made a zipping motion over her lips with her fingers, and fell silent.

'But then again, Third Brother... you asked The Providence to take your Merit, but did you ever stop to think that you don't have nearly enough for It to collect?'
Aurora Donovan: =.= 'Right in the heart, sis!'
