“It took us five hours to reach Tokyo, but I was really happy. I kept talking about myself, and didn't hear anything about Nana.But now that I know you better; I know you wouldn't say anything.”

“Do you remember the time we met?The wind blew the snow about on the outside, the train moved, stopped, and then moved some more.It took us five hours to reach Tokyo, but I wasn't bored one bit.I didn't really get to hear so much about Nana.But I knew I would have loved...To hear what Nana had to say about herself.- Nana Komatsu”

“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?”

“The truth is I always loved him. From the first time I saw him he was so great. But that time I was hurt. I might have been selfish but I was so hurt. I was afraid I would feel more pain. Now I remember every time I was with Shouji I felt better. You hugged me secretly with your heart, didn't you? Now I want you to embrace me with all that warmth, with all your strength.”

“I might cry tomorrow, but I may be smiling the day after. That's enough. That's the way life is. If I don't lose hope - tomorrow will come.Tomorrow will come if we don't lose hope... I learned that from Nana.But rainy days still make my cheeks wet with tears, even now. It was pouring, on that rainy day.”

“You were a stray cat, strutting so free and full of pride. But I could see your open wound. And without really thinking I just chalked it up to another cool thing about you. I never realized how much you hurt.”

“For my 20th birthday in March, I'll buy myself a present for doing my best. A one way ticket to Tokyo. All I need is my guitar and a pack of cigarettes.”
