Quotes 

• Banri Tada : It felt as if the world I'd been living in until now was a dream, and I'd just woken up. As if the person I am now was a lie.

• Banri Tada : The good... the bad... the unexpected accidents. All kinds of things happen in life.

• Banri Tada : I'm going to Tokyo!

• Banri Tada : There are things you can't avoid, even if you don't like them.

• Banri Tada : [Banri's Spirit talking]  I'm a ghost again.

• Banri Tada : [Banri's Spirit talking]  My feelings for Linda still remain in Banri's heart, but... until now, I've thought of him as my younger twin.

• Banri Tada : Are you thinking, "What is he saying?"

  Nana Hayashida : I'm thinking, "He finally said it."

• Banri Tada : Even if you think I'm a nuisance, no matter where you go, I'll find you. I'll always be listening for your voice. When the rain falls, when the wind blows, when the flowers scatter, when shadow looms. In every sign, I'll search for your voice...

• Banri Tada : Why do you still want to be my friend? Is it because you feel comfortable being with me? Because I understand your awkward and useless self, and yet still love you? Quit acting so spoiled. When you rejected me, you lost the right to want those things!

• Banri Tada : Do you want to go back? To the place where I used to be. I... I want to go back!

• Banri Tada : I feel like I can be reborn as a new person here. I can meet new friends, stay in a new place, and live in a new world. It's so much fun, and I'm so happy and satisfied. Even if I'm sad or lonely or make mistakes, everything shines like gold.

• Banri Tada : SPOILER: The Present is ending. Here, countless versions of our past selves are always crying, laughing, falling in love, getting hurt, joking around, feeling happy and suffering. These feelings are born all the time and in the next moment, they became the past and die. It's over now. This is the end. But the truth is, everyone's time is like that. Right after it's born, every moment becomes the past and dies. But... I'm alive now. I'm here now. I can see this moment, the present, right now. Right now... isn't that everything? After that, I returned to my former self and lost all the memories since the accident.
