- Shizuka Tachibana: Well, I was looking for a demon.
- Tenku: Hm. You are definitely in the right part of town. Take a look around. Plenty of demons here. It's my friend's collection, I manage the stuff and display it for him, ten years ago if you asked me "Hey, Tenku, you ever see yourself as an art dealer?" I would said "Who ya kidding?".
- Shizuka Tachibana: No, what I'm looking for isn't on these walls, I'm looking for a very real demon.
- Tenku: Hey lady, if your serious, you should meet the guy who owns this artwork. He's a big believer in demons. Maybe I should introduce you to to each other.
