“Just because you know it [my past]... doesn't mean that my wounds are a weight you have to carry. ~Kurogane-san”
“Kurogane: You just said "Buu" with your mouth, right? That isn't whistling.Fai: I don't know how to whistle.”
“Kurogane: For all my life... I've wanted strength. I didn't want those things precious to me to be taken away from me anymore. But, to have strength means to invite disaster to come to you. And strength alone can't really protect you.”
“Fai: *punches Kurogane* That was payback, Kuro-sama!Kurogane: *grins* You're gonna get punched out, you creep!”
“Kurogane: That's what you want, isn't it? Underneath that constant grin, you're keeping everyone away. So that nobody gets involved with you. But look. Just now you checked to see if the kid had a fever, and you're relieved that the princess doesn't see the wretched condition of this world. And in the last country, you used your magic.Fai: *smiling* I said it, didn't I? I wasn't going to die. And so...Kurogane: Yeah, but that was all about you not dying on your own account. Dying for somebody else... That's a whole new question. Back then, if you hadn't done anything, we would have been captured, and if we handled it wrong, we might have died. But you decided to use magic on your own. You involved yourself in their lives.Fai: *no longer smiling, looks depressed* I... I don't want to make anyone unhappy because of their involvement with me. ”
“Mokona: Please! Fai is about to die! Yûko! Fai: Y... You... can't... While I'm still ailve... Syaoran-kun's magic still lives. Even half of that power is too much... Nothing... will be able to stop him.Mokona: Fai!!Kurogane: *punches hole in wall* Who told you to make that decision now?!Mokona: No! Kurogane!! *Kurogane grabs Fai by the collar*Fai: Sorry... *Fai collapses*Kurogane: Witch... Is there any way to keep him from dying?Yûko: Yes, there is.”
“Kurogane, to Fai: You, shut up!! If you want to die that much, I'll kill you myself! But until that day, you're going to live!”
