"I'm the pillar of the family now. I can earn my own money, so of course, I have a bright future ahead of me. But what about them? They're still holding out their hands for money, completely clueless about their own futures. That's the fundamental difference between us."
"I'm already independent, both personally and financially. But they, very clearly, are not. Of course, I won't deny that I'm only like this today because I met you. That's what led me to go out and see the world, and meet so many wonderful people."
The Beauty System sounded a little shy. "It's because you've grown so well on your own, Host. Tongtong didn't really help with much."

"For that alone, I'm incredibly grateful to you."
