"we are motionless"

I want to be

When I grow up, I want to be a superhero. To fly around the world and save the day. I want to be the one that inspires people to do good, that challenges people to become better people. Every child has a dream to one day become the role model of thousands, to lead humans to a better future. But as time goes by and as we grow up, that dream begins to fade, ever so slightly. We realize that it's impossible to be a superhero. Impossible to have those powers to fly, to fade through walls or teleport. But deep down we never truly let go of that goal. To be somebody, someone, worthwhile.

I want to be a superhero. Someone who actually has the power to change the world. Someone who could actually do something if their loved ones were in trouble.

I want to be a superhero. But I can't. I have no powers, I have no magic. I am merely me and all I can do is sit here and watch. You can't save people, they have to save themselves. And until they do that, all you can do is watch. Because you aren't a superhero, and you never will be.

"this time is ours"
"Here's what I think, Mr. Wind-Up Bird," said May Kasahara. "Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things."
