“You are the only person in the world who has cooked a meal
meant solely for me.”
Her expression was tender and wholehearted. No mask. All my
doubts and questions seemed to dissolve.

“That’s true. You’re right.”

"If we’d been standing under that same tree, I, too, would have
brushed the vivid petals off of Chi-chan’s shoulders.
No—that wasn’t all. Let me put it this way: had arrows showered
down on us instead of flowers, I would have shielded Chi-chan’s
body with my own."

“It’s true that the Empire’s coercive methods are unpleasant, but
the beautiful sakura are innocent of any crime. It would be a dream
for me to go see sakura blossoms with you"

"Whenever I start craving something, anything, my stomach burns
with this insatiable greed until I get my hands on whatever it is.
That’s the monster in me. And that’s why I’m so very grateful to
you! Ever since I arrived in Taiwan, you’ve been the only one to
appease this monster.”

“All I’m saying is, is it not much better to eat lychee here like

our clothes just to catch a glimpse of a sight that humans have
arbitrarily dubbed ‘famous’ can make us forget that we are
surrounded by wonderful things every day. What a shame.”
