"Matsu, you said that people and fireworks bloom like beautiful flowers for an instant and then fade away. That may be true, but Matsu, even if it's only for a moment, I want you to bloom by my side and when you fade away... do so at my side.

"It's often said, "People who are similar can be called friends", right? You haven't been making a good life for yourself, have you? Well, I guess I'm no better..

But, even so, with heart and soul you try to brake through. There will be a day, that even dirt will dry and fall off. (Gintoki to Catherine Gintama chapter 24 page 19"")"
