Kawahira: Tsunayoshi-kun has a lot of qualities I find horrifying. But the worst one by far is how thoughtful he can be.
Reborn: I sure know how to pick ‘em, don’t I?
Tsuna: Well, you know. Our perceptions are always colored by what we hope… and what we fear, what we love. We do the best we can.
Reborn, scoffing: I’m afraid my best wasn’t good enough with her… For the first time, I felt like I couldn’t read people.
Tsuna: You know, you had no trouble seeing through me.
Reborn: [huffs out a laugh] It’s a good thing I like being alone.
Tsuna: You know what, Reborn? You’re not alone. Okay? [opens his arms in offer] Come on.
Reborn: Tsunayoshi.
Tsuna: You’re my partner. Okay? Come on. It’s an Arcobaleno hug. Take it.
Reborn:
Reborn: [takes the hug]
Tsuna: You know, you really should apologize to Skull.
Reborn: I already explained.
Tsuna: I know you did, but come on, Reborn, he’s hurting. All right? Whether you’re right or wrong, you leveled the guy.
Reborn, amused: He’s a grown man.
Tsuna, seriously: Sometimes that makes it hurt more. What makes us human, Reborn, is that we can feel compassion and regret.
Reborn, after a beat: [knowing Tsuna is being serious] Why is it so important to you, Tsuna?
Tsuna, softly: Because I know the kind of person that you are, and I think you should let other people in on the secret, too.
Tsuna: We were born unique. Our experiences mold and change us. We become someone. All of us. And to have that taken away by murder, to be erased from existence against our will, it’s just…
Reborn: Evil?
Tsuna: Unacceptable.
Bermuda: They didn’t welcome death. The Vindice wanted to live.
Skull, compassionate: Honey… you ever think that maybe you come off a little distant because you connect too much?
Bermuda: I hate psychology. It’s a soft science.
Skull, warmly: [linking their arms together] I know, but… people are mostly soft.
Tsuna, to Kawahira: What matters isn’t if people are good or bad.
Tsuna: What matters is if they’re trying to be better today than they were yesterday.
Tsuna: I know kindness exists because I am kind.
Tsuna: “People aren’t good.”
Tsuna: I am people. I am good.
Tsuna: You are wrong.
Tsuna: If you are capable of it, then so are others.
Tsuna: Be your own proof of concept.
Viper: What’s the best way to kill someone?
Tsuna: Kindness.
Verde: If we’re being stealthy, potassium cyanite. Otherwise, anything from a knife to a bazooka works.
