“This isn't the kind of story where understanding makes you smart, or not understanding makes you dumb.”

“The guy who isn't in the know can't understand ... how hard it is to be in the know and still not say.”

“If you make a wish and if you keep on making the same wish, it will be granted. That's how strong human wishes are.”

“However if you wish unhappiness on someone else then the very strength of that wish will make you unhappy.”

“Kurogane: You just said "Buu" with your mouth, right? That isn't whistling.Fai: I don't know how to whistle.”

“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. ”

“All who make wishes are the same. When one wish comes into conflict with someone else's wish ... then one must make a choice. Either abandon one's own wish ... or crush the other's wish for the sake of your own.”
