What’s left is to take this chance, with everyone here… I’ll claw a mark on the palm of the one laughing at this whole situation. …I will.

“But... I’m glad.” “Huh?” Aoba did not understand what at all there was to be glad about. Mikado smiled at him softly, and said. “Even if it’s true that Heiwajima-san was arrested, it happened after he quit the Dollars.” “...”

“If I were my younger self, you’d be the type I’d beat to death without a reason.”

Akabayashi to Izaya (Durarara!! Volume 10 Chapter 2)

For all Shinra put his roommate before everything, while she was safe he had the allowance to feel worry for others as well. As opposed to the incident where another friend had been stabbed, this time around he seemed truly concerned for Kadota’s wellbeing.

Shinra’s standards were far departed from any other human’s, even including Izaya’s. Izaya was too anxious back then to properly analyze his feelings. When he revisited his memories later he reasoned that Shinra was in fact “watching humans from a different world.” Unlike Izaya, Shinra did not harbor fond feelings for humans. But Izaya still envied him. He envied his classmate who resided in a different world than him and the rest of humankind.

[Private mode] Tanaka Taro You said to me last year at our first gathering, Orihara-san [Private mode] Tanaka Taro “If you really want to get away from your everyday life, you’ll have to keep evolving.” [Private mode] Tanaka Taro But I never was able to make myself evolve. [Private mode] Tanaka Taro I now crave a return to my everyday life. [Private mode] Tanaka Taro I want to go back to the kind of life I had with Sonohara-san and Masaomi. [Private mode] Tanaka Taro That’s why I want to get it back. [Private mode] Tanaka Taro I want Dollars back the way it was on that night. [Private mode] Tanaka Taro I don’t want to get away from my everyday life anymore. [Private mode] Tanaka Taro I just want to go back to those days. That is all.

“Earlier when I was stabbed Shinra simply hung up on me with a ‘Bye!’ you know. All I’m doing now is just being appropriately cold to him in return.”

“I knew it! I knew it! Didn’t I tell you that Yuuhei-san is nice because his brother set a good example?” “Stop it, you fools! Don’t compare someone like me to Kasuka, you’ll just be insulting him!”

“Excessive curiosity kills even the snake, Informant.” Without showing any sign of fear under the pressure, Izaya maintained his usual composure as he quipped, “Shouldn’t it be the cat, Shiki-san?” “In the West they say cats have nine lives…but snakes are symbols of rejuvenation and immortality, aren’t they? …Just like you. You keep shedding your old skin and coming back to life no matter how badly you’re beaten up or stabbed with a knife…”

“I was so worried! Terrified that you’d really die.... if that happened, I might have just abandoned searching for my own head and bring your head back to my hometown instead....” “….Though I don’t know if what your saying is true or not, Celty, but hearing that is truly terrifying.” Though Shinra was smiling with tears, in his heart, he actually felt very happy.

Shizuo lowered his head and flicked his own forehead several times. The pa pa sounds that resounded were similar to the sounds of a fist knocking sturdy wood. But Shizuo only tilted his head in confusion.

It was only the flicking of the forefinger, this response seemed a bit excessive, but considering the one who did it was Shizuo, perhaps it feels no different than a normal hoodlum attacking with a metal bat.

Shizuo, who’s only interested in older women, Shinra, who’s obsessed with Celty, and Kasuka, who’s like a log

“Oh….. that’s…. I also don’t know how to say this right… recently, Mikado-kun has been acting strange.” “Strange? Is he listless, or saying weird things?” “No, on the contrary.… recently, he’s always showing an open, happy expression.” Anri stopped for a moment, like she was hesitant to continue, but then set a firm resolve to say. “It’s the same as when Kida-kun was still around.”
