Quotes
"Oh, come on, guys! Yūichirō's always been a nice guy.""

- Yoichi to his squad while the others are teasing Yu

"Well, um... Ever since Ferid injected Yuichiro with that medicine, he's started acting like his old self again." (To Yuichiro) "It feels like ever since your demon took over, you've been getting colder and colder toward everything..." (To the group) "I guess what I'm saying is our situation isn't as completely bad as everyone thinks it is. Yu needed medicine, right? Now we have that medicine. Not only that, we learned it might be possible to bring people back from the dead. If that's true, isn't that some very good news...?""

- Happy that Yu is better and placing matters into perspective

"Because Yuichiro is such a nice person! The whole world is empty and broken, but he refuses to give up! He keeps trying his very hardest to get his family back and to protect his friends. That's amazing! Really, really amazing! If I hadn't been lucky enough to become part of his family when I did, I'm sure despair and hopelessness would've swallowed me up and I'd be dead by now."

- Yoichi to Gekkouin about Yuu
