"When people focus on what they want to d…" — Kinoshita Yuuko Quote

"It's all right to grieve over your defeat. It's important to admit when you've lost. Not being able to do so makes it impossible for you to climb back up after a fall, and even more impossible, for you to move forward. So go on ahead and grieve to your heart's extent. But after you're done grieving, be sure to set your eyes upon your next goal and move towards it."

"No, I do want to be the hero... But since it’s a rare chance, I want to repay what I borrowed. Uu... how should I say it? I’m really troubled. I bet everything on such an important match, yet I didn't accomplish anything before this thing ends. I can only wish that others can finish off this wish that I would never give up on. Should I be depressed, or angry, or is it an inexplicable feeling... I don't know how to express it, but anyway— I’M JUST UNHAPPY THAT I’M NOT THE PROTAGONIST TODAY!"

"This is a case of personal feelings: there's no way to force someone into saying that he or she loves someone. Besides, only the person knows whether the love truly exists. Even if it's said out with false feelings, it'll just cause damage on both sides."

"We teachers have to be role models for you students. If we can’t face you all head on, what can we teach you!"

"Aki, you can't lie when you confess to someone. I'm trying to comfort you know, but if I just wanted to comfort you, I won't confess to you. I confessed to you like this because I really like you. But I do find it a little annoying how you fidget around like this, and I really hate you for blaming yourself and regretting your actions. -- and I really hate you when you said that a girl, who summoned all her courage to confess to you, is lying."
