“Giây phút nhìn con thở yếu ớt vì uống quá nhiều thuốc ngủ, cha tưởng chừng tim mình ngừng đập. Dù thế nào, cha cũng phải vững vàng trước mặt mẹ con, nhưng lòng cha hoàn toàn trống rỗng, như thể trái tim đã đi đâu mất rồi. Cha cuống cuồng gọi xe cấp cứu, nhưng bác sĩ nói rằng coi như hết hy vọng, rằng có thể con sẽ phải sống thực vật suốt đời. Dù vậy, họ vẫn dốc lòng cứu con. Con còn ít tuổi, các y bác sĩ đã cố gắng hết sức để mang con trở về bằng mọi giá. Nhìn cảnh ấy, cha cảm động biết chừng nào. Và con hồi sinh một cách thần kỳ như để đáp lại nhiệt huyết của mọi người. Đúng lúc ấy cha đã nghĩ, người tốt hay xấu đều không còn quan trọng...”

“Think for two seconds, idiot!” Mitsuru whirled around, his chair creaking, and the look on his face was so scary that I unconsciously shrank back. “Think,” he said again, glaring at me like he was trying to dig a hole in my head with his eyes. “The little brother who’s been with me ever since I can remember, the weak, ugly, stupid, cowardly, deviant braggart who can’t make friends so he follows me around everywhere I go, who needs to be rescued constantly, the kid I can’t take my eyes off of, who I literally haven’t been able to take my eyes off for fourteen years. For fourteen years. One morning, this kid, one totally normal and regular morning, he’s suddenly dying right there in his bed. And he did it to himself. He made himself die. Think about what that would feel like!”

“A homestay?” I frowned.
“Exactly.” The angel nodded. “You’ll spend a while in the world below again, and then you’ll come back here. A human life is a few decades at best. Think of this in a more lighthearted way. Tell yourself you’re merely starting another, slightly longer homestay.”
A few decades at best. A longish homestay. It would be easier if I thought about it like that.
“There are no rules for a homestay. People are welcome to spend their time however they wish with the family they are given. However, you cannot leave the homestay early.”
..."If in the world below, you do end up wanting to curl into yourself once more, please remember this time you spent on your do-over. Remember how it felt to move freely without trapping yourself in your own expectations. And remember the people who helped you up.”

“สิ่งที่เคยคิดว่าเป็นสีดำนั้น ความจริงแล้วเป็นสีขาว แต่เป็นความรู้สึกในทำนองว่า สิ่งที่คิดไว้ว่ามีเพียงสีเดียวนั้น พอมองดูดีๆแล้วกลับพบว่ามันมีสีต่างๆซุกซ่อนอยู่
มีทั้งสีดำ มีทั้งสีขาว
มีทั้งสีแดง สีน้ำเงิน และสีเหลือง
มีทั้งสีสว่าง และสีมืด
มีทั้งสีสวย และสีน่าเกลียด
มองเห็นได้หลายสี เมื่อเปลี่ยนมุมมอง”
