- Shuichi – “...”
- Kaede – “You noticed, huh? Yeah... I'm shaking too. But... I'd be a mess if you weren't here. I wouldn't be able to do anything... I would've been so lost... I'm glad you're here with me, Shuichi. With you by my side, I feel like I can stand up to anything. You give me the courage I need to take on the mastermind. So, please...be more confident. I believe in you, so you should definitely believe in yourself!”

- — Shuichi after he realized Kaede tried to smile before her execution
- Kaede – “... Well... this is as far as it goes... I couldn't do it. I couldn't get to the mastermind. I'm sorry... everyone. I'm sorry... Rantaro. I'm sorry... Shuichi. You stayed silent this whole time because you realized it already, right? But you can't do that. It may be the end of me, but I want my wish to... I'm giving it to you, Shuichi. From now on, you're going to carry on my wish! You're going to protect everyone!”

- — Shuichi thinking about the promise he made to Kaede
- “In the end...I'm just like them. I'm scared of revealing the truth. Because it means that someone has to be sacrificed. But Kaede was scared, too... She didn't let that stop her.
