1st's Fate ~Free the World~
If we are here and our hearts are here and if we are living and feeling these emotions, isn’t this reality in itself?

2nd's Reflection ~Break the Chain~
If the love you hold is an illusion created by your mind to substitute for a lost love, then are you worthy of being reflected in that person's eyes?

3rd's Remorse ~Shoulder the Crime~
If someone would kill you or someone else close to you, could you take another's life without hesitation?

4th's Harmony
If you were to die and throughout your life you lived a painful existence where everyone had detested you for nothing you had control over, would you want to leave proof that you existed?
