Shiki Ryogi : [Voice-Over] Do you think that suicide is okay, Mikiya?
Mikiya Kokutou : [Voice-Over] Hmm, I dunno. Suppose I had a retrovirus that would kill everyone in Tokyo if I continue with life. If everyone could be saved if I die, then I would kill myself.
Shiki Ryogi : [Voice-Over] What do you mean? It is so unlikely that even can be considered as an assumption.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Voice-Over] Let me finish, I think that would do that for being weak. I would kill myself because I don't have the courage to continue living having all Tokyo against me. It would be easier, don't you think? A moment of courage against a continuous value over your life. Do you know which one is harder to have? It may be a statement a bit extreme, but I think that death is an escape. There are times when you want to run away. I can't deny or refute it, because... I am a weak person too.
Shiki Ryogi : You're a different person.

Touko Aozaki : Don't leave a suicide note means that they have nothing to leave in this world and they are willing to die with grace. Ironically, this attracts the attention and the situation itself is taken as a suicide note. But even so, they jumped without leaving their last words.
Shiki Ryogi : In Short?
Touko Aozaki : They not have death on their plans. It's as if they had gone shopping and they died tragically in a car accident. That was what Mikiya said.
Shiki Ryogi : Him?
[Both girls look at Mikiya, who is sitting in front of televisions in a seemingly catatonic state]
Touko Aozaki : But he does not understand why someone would jump from a building when they simply went shopping.

Announcer : ...And this leaves the Fujio Building suicides in a total of eight. According to police investigations, this case is similar to the previous seven...
Mikiya Kokutou : [Watching the TV] What? Eigth?
Announcer : ...in which there was no suicide note or struggle signs in the victims...
Shiki Ryogi : Hey, Touko. Are all humans end up as well when they can fly a little?
Touko Aozaki : In the past no one has tried to fly using only human power. The words "Fly" and "Fall" go together. But the more one concentrate on flying, most forget that detail. As a result, you end up flying above the clouds even after death. Without falling down, but as if you fell into the sky.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Confused by the talking] Um... Sorry, but I don't know what are you talking about.
Touko Aozaki : Oh. there was a person floating in the Fujio Building , and the ghosts of the eight girls who committed suicide there were flying around. The question is, Were they Flying or Floating? Actually, It's a pretty simple story.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Still Confused] Um... yes, whatever. It sounds like something from a cheap novel.

Mikiya Kokutou : Here, put this in your fridge

Mikiya Kokutou : You should keep the door locked. Gosh, you're very careless I've already told you before, rigth?.
Shiki Ryogi : You can enter without permission, I've already told you before, rigth?.
Mikiya Kokutou : I can't do that.
[He sits on the floor beside the bed]
Mikiya Kokutou : Today I brought you with strawberry
[Shiki looks the bag disdainfully, takes out a pot of strawberry ice cream]
Mikiya Kokutou : What?, is this melted? I knew I should have bought an ice pack.
Shiki Ryogi : I don't like ice cream
Mikiya Kokutou : But today was very hot, so I thought you might like something cold. I thought it was a bit ordinary, but that was all I could buy when I thought about you.
Shiki Ryogi : What?
Mikiya Kokutou : Strawberries, is Häagen-Dazs. You didn't ate it the last time you brought it, does it?
Shiki Ryogi : Do the strawberries represent me?
Mikiya Kokutou : [Pointing toward the red leather jacket hanging on the wall] Something like your leather jacket. And the strawberries belong to the of the roses family. Amazing, isn't it? Everyone thinks that strawberries are nice, but they are just roses. Yes, just like you, Shiki.

Touko Aozaki : [after see the TV News] Are you interested? She is the fourth. It's almost time... that the public realizes the similarity.
Shiki Ryogi : Similarity?
Touko Aozaki : Yes, Similarity. Or should I say common factor?

[Shiki begins to be strangled by her own hand]
Kirie Fujio : That's why he can fly anywhere if he tries. I want to take him . Can you fly?
Shiki Ryogi : Hey, You don't understand!

Shiki Ryogi : Mikiya, stay here tonight.
Mikiya Kokutou : Huh? Why so suddenly?
Shiki Ryogi : Just do it.
Mikiya Kokutou : Well, I'm fine. It is true that this is easier, but... Or is there something you need me to do?
Shiki Ryogi : Strawberries.
Mikiya Kokutou : Huh?
Shiki Ryogi : Häagen-Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream . Yours is still there. Eat that crap.
[Mikiya opens the fridge and looks]
Mikiya Kokutou : I guess I have no choice, I will spend the night here. But Shiki... "Eat that crap"? Please remedy your gross language. You're a girl after all.
