“Death you are too familiar”
“You picked the seats you did for a reason, right? Familiarity. Too bad the best sleuths avoid familiarity. It dulls the investigative instinct.”
“It is difficult to see a situation for what it is when you are in the midst of it,” Tsukiko says. “It is too familiar. Too comfortable.”
“The purpose of life is to familiarize oneself with this after-death body so that the act of dying will not create confusion in the psyche.”
“(What makes his world so hard to see clearly is not its strangeness but its usualness).Familiarity can blind you too.”
“Life is too short when you think of the length of death”
