Even I have places I like to be." "Even if you find out who I am, I'd be happy if you'd keep talking to me just like you always have." "You don't have to push yourself. You're already doing enough." "I remember what you told me. ...Especially if it's about someone I like." "A marriage proposal came for you. ...I see. Do you want to be with that person?" "I'm sorry. It seems I'm not as sensible a man as I thought." "I can't just smile and see you off while you're by someone else's side." "Guest. Won't you come to me?" "I can't make flashy promises. But I can promise to cherish you ten, twenty years from now. That, I can promise."
