{{quote|''Gen Urobuchi wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts.
Those who know about my creative history will probably [[Flat What|furrow their brows]] and think [[Dude, Not Funny|this is a sick joke]]. Honestly, I have trouble believing it myself. For when I start typing out words on the keyboard, the stories my brain comes up with are always full of madness and despair.<br />
The truth is, I haven't always been this way. I have often written pieces [[Bittersweet Ending|that didn't have a perfect ending]], but by the last chapter the protagonist would still possess a belief that [[Earn Your Happy Ending|"Although there will be many hardships to come, I still have to hold on"]].<br />
Line 14:
[[Foreshadowing|No matter what we do,]] [[wikipedia:Heat Death of the Universe|we can't stop the universe from getting colder, either]], and on the same principle. This world is only maintained in existence by a series of logical, common-sense processes; it can never escape the bondage of its physical laws.<br />
Therefore, in order to write a perfect ending for a story [[Foreshadowing|you must possess the power to break the chain of cause and effect, invert black and white, and act in complete contradiction to the rules of the universe. Only a heavenly and chaste soul, a soul that resounds with genuine praise for humanity, can save the story]]; to write a story with a happy ending is a double challenge, to the author's body as well as the mind.<br />
At some point, Gen Urobuchi lost that power. He still hasn't recovered. The "tragedy syndrome" is still continuing within me. Is this a terminal disease? Should I give up on the pure "warrior of love" that I have longed for? [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Or mount a pallid battle steed and reincarnate into a bearer of the plague]]... could it be that I can only create pieces that give men courage and hope in my next life? (When I wrote this, [[Alternate Character Reading|I accidentally wrote "courage" as "lingering ghosts"]]. I guess that's what I get for using [[wikipedia:Japanese IME|IME]] -- Ah, I just wrote "IME" as "hatred"... is there no way out of this for me?)'' |'''[[Gen Urobuchi]]''', Afterword to Volume 1 of '''''[[
