"Morishita was fair. He wouldn‘t protect anyone, and he wouldn‘t kill anyone specific. He could only kill anyone because he didn‘t care if he killed everyone. He just killed whoever was there. We all knew he was a good guy. He wouldn‘t discriminate."
"I‘m always bored, I said. “Why? If you‘re always bored, shouldn‘t you try to make your life more interesting?” I knew what he said was correct, and precisely because I knew, I began to cry."

"Maybe it‘s because murdered girls genuinely look beautiful, or maybe it‘s just because I‘m a boy, but I think there must be something enjoyable about having all these delusions about the opposite sex and living to force a sort of bodily aesthetics one could never pull off themselves onto others."
"When cute girls wear makeup that doesn‘t suit them just because some model promotes it, and that makeup actually makes them ugly, I want to tell them that they‘re ugly.

"Do you understand? Do you really get it? Yu-chan was killed, cut up, and left under a tree at some “power spot,” some place the media claimed to have special spiritual energy to draw idiot tourists. If you say you did it, I won‘t be able to look down on you for being plain. Don‘t you see? You can‘t be so evil. You should just keep on learning your stupid songs and dances through sheer effort. Isn‘t that the kind of person you are?"
