No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all.

Death was not the opposite of life. It was already here, within my being, it had always been there, and no struggle would permit me to forget that. When it too the 17-year-old Kizuki that night in May, death took me as well.

But thing in the past are like plate that’s shattered to pieces. You can never put it back together like it was, right?

You need to come face-to-face with the past, not as some naive, easily wounded boy, but as a grown-up, independent professional. Not to see what you want to see, but what you must see. Otherwise you'll carry around that baggage for the rest of your life.

At some point the future becomes reality. And then it quickly becomes the past.

With each passing moment I'm becoming part of the past. There is no future for me, just the past steadily accumulating.
