“Takako looked into Hiroki's eyes and grinned. "You've become quie a stud." "And...you're the most stylin' girl in the world." Takako smiled faintly. She wanted to thank him, but she was out of breath. She just stared at Hiroki's eyes. She was grateful. At least she wasn't going to die alone. The last person to stay with her ended up being Hiroki. And she was grateful. She really was.” WorldPersonsEyeWantedLastsDiesGirlBreathsGratefulStuds Author:Koushun Takami
“Kazuhiko could have taken his gun and aimed it at the person behind them. But Sakura wouldn't want that. What she wanted was to leave this world quietly before they got sucked into this horrible massacre. Nothing was more important to him than her. There was no room for compromise. If this were what her trembling soul wanted, then he would follow her. Had he been more eloquent he might have described his feelings as something like, "I'm going to die for her honor." Their two bodies danced in the air beyond the cliff, their hands still clasped together, the black sea under them.” IfsWorldWantPersonsStillsTwoImportantSoulFeelingsBodyHandsMightWantedTogetherDiesBlackRoomsBehindsTakenAirSeaThis WorldHonorGunHorribleCompromiseCliffsTremblingEloquentMassacres Author:Koushun Takami
“One thing was absolutely certain—it was a given for Kazuo. Although he might not have particularlyrealized it, or more appropriately, perhaps because he was incapable of coming to such a realization, this was what it came down to: he, Kazuo Kiriyama, felt no emotion, no guilt, no sorrow, no pity, towards the four corpses, including Mitsuru's—and that ever since the day he was dropped into this world theway he was, he had never once felt a single emotion.” WorldMightCertainGivenFeltEmotionFourOne ThingThis WorldSorrowGuiltIncludingPityRealizationIncapableCorpses Author:Koushun Takami
