“You have not been human for a long time, Mr Asano, but it is what you still are in your mind. It’s why you give yourself limits in a place where you have none. Perhaps you fear what happens when you truly let go of who you are, but that fear is a false one. That isn’t who you are but who you were. You left that behind a long time ago, but refuse to admit it to yourself. You keep telling people you aren’t human, as if saying it is a talisman that will let you keep hold of your humanity.

There is only so far you can push a human, Mr Asano, but you are not human. You’ve simply used the power of this place to turn yourself into one. When you let go of that idea, you let go of the limitations it imposes on you. It is not the spoon that bends; it is only yourself.”
