“What do you think it is to be alive?”
“It is the ability to communicate with someone at heart, I guess. To be recognised by someone. To be liked. To be hated. To be together with someone and hold hands with. To be hugged. Miss each other. That’s what it means “to live”. I don’t know what it means to be alive alone..”

Mitsuko: Nothing bad will happen, will it?
Aki: It’s okay. Nothing will happen.
Hey Makoto, was there at least a tiny bit of love in that kiss?
There was. It wasn’t even close to a tiny bit. You were… my everything.

“I don’t care if people think I’m a freak. I’m used to it. What makes me sad is you. “She’s just a friend." It’s like you were apologizing. I don’t wanna be that kind of "friend”. If I was a real friend, you could’ve stood up a little for me. You could’ve said to them, “She’s not a freak, she’s just unique.”

“If I disappeared from the world.. the dreams and wishes I couldn’t think about, things that I couldn’t do when I was alive, and things I want to redo.. there must be many regrets left behind. But the world where I existed and the world where I vanished.. I want to believe they are different. It may be an insignificant change, but it’s proof that I was alive. Struggling and worrying, these are proof that we’re alive.”
