- Yuki Sohma: I remember the day of the accident. One of the teachers came and called her out of class. They talked at the door for a minute and then they ran out. Her two friends went running after her. For a little while, everyone in class was silent. I remember thinking at the time maybe someone in her family's been hurt, but it was just a passing thought. Back then I barely even realized she existed. She was just one of the girls in class, the one called Tohru Honda. How could I have known that one day we'd be living in the same house, that we'd get to know one another like we have?
- Kyo Sohma: You can't have a picnic on a grave!
- Arisa Uotani: Huh? What's the big deal? Come on. Kyoko will LIKE it if we make a little noise before we leave.
- Arisa Uotani: [watching Tohru, Kyo and Yuki head home] You DO know, it's bound to happen one day, one of 'em's gonna tell her he likes her.
- Saki Hanajima: Oh, no, no. I'm afraid I simply could NOT allow my Tohru to take either one of those boys.
- Arisa Uotani: So, what, are you her mother now?
- Saki Hanajima: I really meant that half joking.
- Arisa Uotani: So you were half serious.
- Saki Hanajima: It's their signals. I can still sense something that troubles me. There are many conflicting emotions hanging like dark clouds around their hearts. I suppose that's true of every person to some extent, but with those two it seems to be rather extreme, and as long as those dark clouds remain I'm not sure they can ever truly share their hearts with another.
- Momiji Sohma: Did you know, children cursed by the zodiac, when they're born they're always born two months premature? Imagine what that was like for her. She'd been married to the man she truly loved, they were havin' their first child together, and she must have been so worried when the baby came early; and, then, after all of that, the first time she tried to hold that baby, to see it change into a strange animal - how horrifying would that be to a new mother, ANY mother.
