Lucy from Elfen Lied
Lain: "It doesn't matter which was real, this world or that one. I was in both. ... I am a program designed to destroy the barrier between the Wired and the Real World. Even you, Arisu, and everyone else-- you're just applications. The truth is, we don't need bodies."
Arisu: "That’s wrong. I don't really understand what you're saying, but I think you're wrong. Your body is cold, but you are alive, Lain. I am, too. See?"
(Arisu lets Lain feel her hearbeat.)
Lain and Arisu together: "It's beating... beating... beating...!"
(They both laugh.)
Lain: "But why? Why is your heart racing like that?"
Arisu: "Because I'm scared. It's pounding like that because I'm scared."
Lain: "But you're smiling, Arisu."
Arisu: "Yes I am, but I'm scared at the same time."

that is life, my girls~
It really shouldn't be all that uncommon - having a wish you'd go so far as to trade your life for. I think there are a lot of people in the world with wishes and desires like that. If we can't think of anything, it just means that we really haven't had anything that bad happen to us. We've had too much given to us and have become dull and stupid. It makes me wonder: Why us? Don't you think it's unfair? I'm sure there are other people who'd really want a chance like this.
