- — Area Conversation between Tsukasa and Rui in Kamiyama High School
- Tsukasa – “Surprisingly, I've grown 1 cm taller!”
- Rui – “Although it's generally believed that boys stop growing around the age of 15, it's quite impressive that you still continue to grow.”
- Tsukasa – “As expected of a future star... There's potential not just in my acting ability but also my height! Next year, I might even surpass you, Rui. I'm looking forward to the day when I'll be looking down to you”
- Rui – “Fufu, that's almost monster-level growth for just one year, but it would be quite intriguing if it really happens. (... It wouldn't be nice to dampen the mood of such a happy-looking Tsukasa-kun, so maybe I'll just keep quiet about the fact that I've grown by 2 cm.)”
- — Area Conversation between Tsukasa and Rui in Kamiyama High School
- Tsukasa – “You don't have any misgivings when it comes to me!”

Event Stories[]
- Tsukasa – “What? Don't tell me you're... a fan?!”
- Rui – “Fan? Hehe, it's interesting that that's the conclusion you jumped to. You might say I'm a fan of yours. Look up, Tsukasa.”
- Tsukasa – “Huh?! Is that a drone? Is that what you meant when you said you've been watching me?”
- Rui – “Yes, indeed. It amused me to see you running all over school, looking for me. I couldn't resist having my drone follow you.”

- — Wonderlands x Showtime Main Story Chapter 18
- Miku – “The alchemist was convinced that the showman didn't care so much about theater, as about becoming a star. Yet, the showman didn't want to give up his hopes of convincing the alchemist to return. He resolved to try a different approach... He made a play just for the alchemist. After the passionate performance, he spoke to him.”
- Tsukasa – “It's true that it's my dream to become a star. A star who brings joy to everyone! To me, a star is someone who delights the audience as much as his fellow performers with the most wonderful shows! Please, believe me this time! With our next show we can spread joy to everyone around us! Won't you... join my troupe again?”
- Rui – “..... Did you think you could express your feelings better through a performance?”
- Tsukasa – “Yes, as a matter of fact I did! Theater has given me so much. I've seen shows which stirred my feelings, shows that filled me with enthusiasm! They made me dream of starring in shows like that myself! That's why my feelings can be communicated most clearly through a show! Rui! Let's make shows together again! Please!”
- Rui – “... Heh. Wonderful shows...which delight both the audience and the performers, hmm? I like the sound of that. But a passionate monologue alone isn't enough to move an audience.”
- Tsukasa – “.....”
- Rui – “Let's think of how to make your performance more expressive, Tsukasa.”
- Tsukasa – “Huh?”

- Tsukasa – “You're not planning on sending me into space, are you?!”
- Rui – “Follow me this way, Tsukasa-kun...”
- Tsukasa – “Hey, not so fast! I've got a bad feeling about this!”
- Rui – “My idea with the water tank didn't pan out, so I thought that I'd try something in the sky instead...”
- Tsukasa – “What kind of logic is that?! And do you live in some warehouse filled with these insane things?!”
- Rui – “[smirks] Why not come over and see for yourself...?”

- Emu – “Yeah! You really shined that time, Tsukasa-kun!”

- — A Sad Farewell at the Curtain Call Episode 8 "How I Feel"
- Rui – “You have clear goals that you wish to accomplish, Tsukasa-kun. You care deeply about doing your best as a cast member of Phoenix Wonderland and making your own dream come true...”
- Tsukasa – “Rui...”
- Rui – “Hehe. To be fair, I'm just paraphrasing what somebody else said. But no one has the right to step on your true feelings.”
- Tsukasa – “I see... Hearing you say that is very encouraging. And yes, you have a point... For the sake of Phoenix Wonderland, as well as my own dream, it may be good to look at things that way moving forward.”
- — A Sad Farewell at the Curtain Call Episode 8 "How I Feel"
- “Hehe. What a lively snore. Tsukasa-kun's also been thinking about what we'll be doing moving forward...”
- — Rui when Tsukasa falls asleep during the train ride in A Sad Farewell at the Curtain Call Episode 8 "How I Feel"
- Tsukasa – “I came to see what you're up to... But good! You seem to be behaving yourself!”
- Rui – “Hm? What do you mean?”
- Tsukasa – “I was stopped by one of the teachers while I was making my way over to the baths. They asked, 'Your partner in crime isn't up to anything, is he?' As much as I hate being treated like one of the usual suspects, I stopped by just to make sure.”

- — Rui in An Unmissable Spirited Affair Episode 8 "What Tomorrow Holds"
- Rui – “The old me was convinced that I'd never be able to actually get along with anyone. But that began to change after we started doing shows together at the Wonder Stage. Now, I don't need shows or anything to get to know someone. On top of that, I want to share smiles and laughter with them. So, Tsukasa-kun... Thank you for giving me the opportunity to change the way I have.”
- Tsukasa – “I see... The only response I can give right now is, 'You're welcome!' Still... I don't think I deserve all the credit.”
- Rui – “What?”
- Tsukasa – “Think about it, Rui. If you were firmly against changing, then it wouldn't have mattered what I did. Things would've remained the way they were. However, you wanted to be a part of a group, and you've been having fun as a result. And that has nothing to do with me... You're here today because that's what you chose.”
- Rui – “[smile] Yes, you may be right...”
- — An Unmissable Spirited Affair Episode 8 "What Tomorrow Holds"
