"So return to them and help them." "the world will truly be destroyed." "To Yakushimaru... those prayer beads are still nothing but a burden." "My love..." "I placed a bet." "With myself as the wager." "I could love myself." "So I can't give up before the end." "Don't worry." "the world won't end." "I'll just disappear. but I couldn't even save you from this place." "Koto got here before I did." "The wish I have that I can't make come true..." "They'll make it come true. like a dream you fell in and out of." "It was only after I met you and the children that I really found my world." "Koto." "You have to live." "Koto..." "Don't make Mom cry!"
