What people consider precious is different for everybody.
As expected life isn't that sweet at all. When I came to Tokyo I thought I could achieve anything with my own two hands. It's not like that. To get something in these hands, I have to fight a horrible fight. But. . . there's not much time to grab the things you want with your hands. Why is that? And more importantly what is that I want?
I have the right to be hated. (Takumi)
I feel the same way about all my friends. To me, the exact relationship between me and someone else doesn't matter much. But people want to label everything. . . so I guess I seem indifferent in that way. ---Yasu
She was my sacred angel that I could never violate. Reira was my sanctuary. I needed something solid like that in this dirty, disappointing world.
The feeling that was born that night, how could i describe it?Words like love or lust just don't seem right. I may call it jealousy, or may be anxiety and moreover, need. Even now I'm anxious at times because when I am with Ren, everything around feels like a dream. That was how Ren turned my boring life into an illusion, and that was too much for no matter how hard i tried, it seemed I could never catch him.
Cinderella's glass shoe was the perfect size. . . . so why did it slip off as she ran?- It must have been to attract the attention of Prince Charming. . I don't see any other explanation
Right now I am full of greed and vanity, so I cannot live with you like before. But may be we can meet like this. I think just being together and talking would be nice. But when we grow old, when greed and vanity will be completely gone, when I will be tired of singing can I return to that place too?
I’m lucky that I’m afraid of losing something
His hands are saying that he wants to hold her. His feet are saying that he wants to chase after her. . . He's probably forgotten that I'm here, beside him
But I wonder if there is a place I fit in?
I am glad I met you and I am glad to say that.
Laugh at love and love will make you cry.
The table was her stage. The mobile phone was the microphone. And the new moon was the spotlight. That kind of magic only Nana could make it happen.
When dawn comes, that memory gradually distances. . . Tonight, I will bring it to sleep with me, so that will not be taken away by the waves of the night.
Why. . is human desire so unsatisfying?
In this world, not everything will be won by justice. If you want to win, you have to learn how to cheat. (Nana)
We didn't say good bye. But we knew it would be the end if we were apart. There was no reason to call or write letters. As it would have been meaningless, if we couldn't hold each other tight.
They say that only very good friends quarrel. But at the end of the day a quarrel is a fight between two people’s egos. Since people cannot understand each other by just being honest. May be its impossible to live your whole life without getting hurt but don’t hurt the people close to you.
Please leave me something. . . even one memory would be enough.
