“Nana acts like a stray cat, wild, free, and proud.......But inside her heart, she houses a wound.Dense as I am, i thought that.This trait of hers was a part of her charm as well...but she never realized how much pain it brought her....-Nana Komatsu”

“Say, Nana... You look like stray cat, wild and proud. But I can see the wound in your heart. At the time I just thought it was cool. I never realized how hurt you were.”

“Nana glanced at Ben. "I think your mom has catepillars in her ears. She keeps repeating everything I say like she can't hear me.”

“Admittedly, there was a lot she still didn't know about him, but she did know this: He completed her in a way that she'd never thought possible. Knowledge isn't everything, she told herself, and she knew then that, in Nana's words, he was the toast to her butter.”

“She carried a knife inside of herself now, one that was always cutting her. She could feel it every time she swallowed, every time her thoughts strayed from the splendor of the wild.”

“Nana Oosaki, about Shin: I wonder if he's really eighteen. He looks sixteen. I'm sure he lied about his age...Nana Komatsu: See! You were complaining but you still read the application!Shin: The studio's free! Great! <3Nana Komatsu, thinking: So cute!Nana Oosaki: I hope he's not in primary school...children today are advanced.”
