“Humans are mysterious creatures. There comes a time when we can clearly understand even things that we can't see. It's the same with anything. If you try your best, you can understand what it's like to "try your best". If you don't try your best, you understand what it's like to "not try your best".”

“Everybody gets hurt. Sometimes a big hurt, sometimes a little hurt. But the person who's suffered a lot isn't especially strong. And the person who's been hurt a little isn't especially weak. What's important is being able to get over it.”

“If there's a 'land of the blindfolded', will there be someone who understands what it's like to be able to 'see'?”

“There will always be people who will accept you for what you are!”

“And who the devil are you to decide?!”

“I'm a dog. I don't have a name yet.(a dazed Namiki)This guy is "Namikisan". That's what Kanade calls him, anyway.What...have we here? SNIFF. SNIFF....CHOMP. CHOMP.'Hey!

(-Namiki)? WAG. WAG.'...gonna die.' (-Namiki)That one time...my animal instinct told me... (Namiki looks at him with a pained expression)"He's the one!"That's why, even when he walked away at first, even when it rained, I knew it would be okay.(Namiki appears in the rain and reaches down for him, smiling)My instinct was right on target.[at the Animal Hospital]'He probably ate something off the ground.' (-vet.)GROAN. GROAN.'I knew it! Can't you even tell when something's safe to eat or not?! I thought dogs were supposed to have instincts for that!' (-Namiki) PAT. KNEAD.Huh? That's really strange... KNEAD. RUFFLE. RUFFLE.But...(Namiki stops, and smiles down at him)Wait!My instinct was right after all! I AM "okay".(Namiki bends down to his level, still smiling)WAG. WAG.
