“This is the truth of our world. Memories melt in the morning light, and then, a new day begins. Roads stretch out before us. So many paths. Which do you choose? That’s up to you. Sometimes, you might run astray. You’ll stop, maybe cry in frustration. But, you know, that’s all right. For the roads…they go on without end. So look up, face forward, toward your chosen horizon, and just walk on.” – Noah
Noah: Do you think an off-seer can ever reach others? You know. I thought our lives were like our music, always in our hands, under our control. I wasn’t facing the truth. Even if I could reach people, I wouldn’t be able to save them. I should’ve known that. It’s unbearable, seeing lives slip away from you. Even though they’re right there. What am I even doing?
Mio: It’s dark out, huh? No moon.
Noah: Huh?
Mio: But the starlight. It’s so nice and warm…Hey, when the two of us first met, you asked me if I wanted to survive…I replied I didn’t mind either way…I’ll correct that. Now I want to live. To live, and learn, a whole lot more. Noah, there’s so much for us to see.
Noah: Finally. You called me by my name.
Mio: Oh yeah. Sorry. I guess I felt that if I did, my heart would downright break. Because I’d be admitting the truth…But you know, these feelings that grew within me. They’re thanks to you. That’s why you’re not allowed to say it’s been for nothing. You’ve enriched my life, Noah. That’s clear now…You know, I don’t want this to be it. If I were given the chance, if this road I’ve walked were to keep on going, I’d like to spend that time with my Noah.
