K: [If I recall, the first time we spoke to each other was the second time we had met.]
M: Thanks for meeting me here. I wanted you to have this since there was so much written about you.

Page 6
M: My arm's getting tired.
K: Ah-- sorry.
M: Well, I better get goi--
K: Wait.

Page 7
K: I--
K: I want to learn more about your older brother.
K: Izana used to hang out with him a lot, so...
M: ...Sure.
K: [As we walked about the pier and talked, it seemed almost inconceivable that we were on opposite sides just a few months prior.]

Page 8
M: Truthfully, I don't know everything there is to know about my brother.
Most of my memories are filled with our playfighting at our dojo.

Page 9
M: I'm still in the dark about what kind of a person he was when he was running with the Black Dragons.

Page 10
K: I feel similarly about Izana. My memories of him are frozen in time from when we were still kids.

Page 11
K: The time he spent in Juvie with the rest of the S62 generation will forever remain a black box to me.
K: I sometimes think -- that I never truly understood him at all.
M: I'm not sure if this counts as an "undestanding", but I think, that Tenjiku was more "family" to Izana than I, or Emma, or Shinichiro could ever aspire to be.

M: Ah
M: Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you--
K: I'm not upset, I'm not...
M: ...
K: Could you keep this a secret from others, please...
M: I mean, we all saw you crying a few months ago. It's hardly even news.
K: ((true...))
K: Mikey,

Page 13
K: Do you think we could've understood them better if we had more time
M: Mm, not really
M: Our time on this planet is so short compared to things like the solar system
K: ((is this guy's concept of 'time' on an astronomical scale...))
M: You know the Sun's going to explode in like 8 billion years
M: Maybe if we all had 8 billion years... then maybe--

Page 14
M: --maybe we could scratch the surface.
K: [I wonder]

Page 15
K: [--if, perhaps, I had tried too hard to extend your time here]
K: [You were the first person I had ever met who was as terrible at living life as Izana or me]
K: [Who could blame you]

Page 16
K: [I could tell that nothing mattered to you anymore because you had long lost everything that you had ever loved back. And yet --]

Page 17
K: [I had tried so desperately to keep you alive. And for what]

Page 18
K: [I was not your "hero". I was not your "servant". And you were certainly, not my "king".]

Page 19
K: [Whatever "we" were --]
M: You're heavy.
K: Mm.

Page 20
K: [May have been something I would never be quite sure how to put into words]
K: I can hear all sorts of sounds coming from your stomach.
M: ......I mean, it'd be bad if you didn't hear anything.
K: [even if I was given 8 billion years to do so.]
K: [One thing I am sure of]

Page 21
K: [--is that I am grateful for your existence, and for the ten years that we did spend together.]
