I knew that Duo had troubles. Who doesn't? But I never knew they ran so deep... I never knew until I saw how deep with my own eyes.
[Trowa]
I never knew that his jovial mask, his jester's attitude, was all just that: a mask, a front. I figured he was happy, even though he did just as many terrible things and suffered just as much as the rest of us did. I never knew that beneath the shining clown there was a tarnished and hurting soul. I never knew, until I saw just how tarnished his soul was with my own eyes.
[Wufei]
I figured him for the fool, and that's exactly what he is. A fool. He's a fool, but I never knew just how foolish until I saw my own eyes.
[Heero]
I knew he had pains far deeper than he let on. At night he tossed and turned, crying out. I knew he suffered far worse than any of us did. He's so emotional, the little insignificant things really get to him. His pains were so bad, be he was so strong... I never thought they'd get to him this badly. I never knew, until I saw with my oen eyes.
[Duo]
They never know, the pain you feel, when you put on a mask and pretend. They never know how fragile you are inside, when you show them how strong you can be. They never know how deep your troubles run, when you never let them past the surface. They never know you aren't completely stupid, if you show them you are. And they never know when you need help, until it's all too late.
The End
Soul, peace, 'n' chicken grease! (à la mvid on FF:SWI dvd)
