Yuuto: "You could've texted me once in a while, y'know?"
Ichiro(sad): "I'm sorry, Yuuto. I didn't mean to push you away like that."
Yuuto: "Whatever. I'm just glad you're here!"
Ichiro(sad) : "That makes one of us..."
Yuuto: "You're not happy to see me? I thought we were bros!"
Ichiro(panic): "What? Of course we are. Y-You know that's not what I meant!"
Yuuto "..."
Ichiro(defensive) : "I was talking about school, I swear!"
Yuuto "I'm just kidding. Lighten up, will ya?"

Yuna: "Ichiro... didn‘t you see the torii on the way here?"
Ichiro: "You mean the red one?"
Yuna: "Yes, the torii gate. It lets things pass from the profane world into the sacred one."
Ichiro: "Wow. How long have you known that kind of stuff?"
Yuna: "Ichiro, I'm serious…"
Yuna: "That doll could belong to a spirit, so I don't think you should take it."
Ichiro(angry): "So I'm just supposed to {i}ignore{/i} the fact that it looks exactly like Hina—the only thing that might give me some closure!?"
Ichiro(angry): "Fuck that!"
