    Shiki Ryogi : [Voice over]  Yes, I know that... That you were the one waiting for me. That you were the one waiting for me. That you were the one protecting me.

    Shiki Ryogi : Mikiya Kokutou. It seems like a French poet's name.

    Mikiya Kokutou : I am glad that today is a sunny day.

    [Walking to the window] 

    Mikiya Kokutou : It's a perfect day to leave the hospital.

    Shiki Ryogi : [Voice over]  Oh, so some things never go away

  • Touko Aozaki : [Mikiya is introducing for first time with Touko]  Nice to meet you, Mikiya.

    Mikiya Kokutou : Thank you, Chief Aozaki.

    Touko Aozaki : [Mikiya is pensive]  Mm? What?

    Mikiya Kokutou : Umm... just thought you seemed to be different when we talk on the phone.

    Touko Aozaki : [Taking off her glasses]  What about now?

    Mikiya Kokutou : Yes, that's...

    Touko Aozaki : In this type of work, there are times when you need to change as the situation demands.

    [Putting her glasses again] 

    Touko Aozaki : Is a simple fix. I change my personality depending on how I perceive things.

    Mikiya Kokutou : And now... Are you pretending to be important or acting like innocent?

    Touko Aozaki : [Smiling]  I'll let you decide that.

  • Mikiya Kokutou : Is Shiki all right?

    Touko Aozaki : Yes, at least for now.

    Mikiya Kokutou : What do you mean with "For Now"?

  • Touko Aozaki : She is empty. His chest is wide open, like a hole. But no matter how much she can not feel like herself, she is still Shiki Ryogi. She probably does not even have the feeling of being alive, but at some point she will realize that she is Shiki. A rose is born being a rose. It will not turn into another type of flower just because was grown using another type of soil or water.

    Mikiya Kokutou : Touko...

    Touko Aozaki : After all, you have to fill that void with something. Not with memories. You have to build Based on this and start building a new personality. Nobody can help you build that "Temple". In short, just continue interacting with her just as you've been doing.
