Aino Sumiko took a deep breath. "Anyway! 'Toru' equals 'worthless pig'. And…"\\

* ''Fanfic/ACertainDrollHivemind'': When the blood construct explodes, it covers everyone in blood, except for Touma. When Mikoto asks what that's about, he just shrugs and says it was magic blood. Even the Sisters find that explanation odd. "Misaka" "stares at Kamijou Touma."
-->I stare at Kamijou Touma. Misaka-10032 stares at Kamijou Touma. Misaka Mikoto stares at Kamijou Touma.\\
"... hate you so much," Misaka Mikoto mutters.

'''You need what I want.'''\\
'''You heed what I want.'''\\
'''You bleed what I want.'''

-->I find myself staring at him with a hatred so deep that it startles me.
-->It grieves me.

'''I''' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick killed]] '''you, ''I'm not gonna crack'''''

"Symploce", like its component parts of {{Anaphora}} and {{Epiphora}}, comes from an Ancient Greek word, συμπλοκή (''sumplokḗ''), meaning "interweaving". But symploce, unlike its parts, has no other meanings.

Symploce is defined as the presence of consecutive phrases, usually sentences, that start and end with the same words, without being exactly the same. Example: '''She'll''' buy this wine for my '''wife today.''' '''She'll''' buy this book for her '''wife today.'''
