Touko Aozaki : People do not cease to exist immediately after dying, as long as there are people who remember them
[She gives a long puff on a cigarette]
Touko Aozaki : As the fact that I smoke does not disappear when I turn off a cigarette.
[She turns off the cigarette in the ashtray]

Touko Aozaki : Don't leave a suicide note means that they have nothing to leave in this world and they are willing to die with grace. Ironically, this attracts the attention and the situation itself is taken as a suicide note. But even so, they jumped without leaving their last words.
Shiki Ryogi : In Short?
Touko Aozaki : They not have death on their plans. It's as if they had gone shopping and they died tragically in a car accident. That was what Mikiya said.
Shiki Ryogi : Him?
[Both girls look at Mikiya, who is sitting in front of televisions in a seemingly catatonic state]
Touko Aozaki : But he does not understand why someone would jump from a building when they simply went shopping.

Kirie Fujio : [Feeling that someone opens the door to her room] Who's there?
[Touko does not answer]
Kirie Fujio : The landscape is beautiful, right?
Touko Aozaki : [Touko does not cross the threshold] Yes
Kirie Fujio : The moon is beautiful tonight, right?
Touko Aozaki : Yes
Kirie Fujio : I knew it. I like this landscape. The cherry trees are beautiful in the spring. The flowers flutter in the wind and looks as if it were blooming in the sky.
Touko Aozaki : I hope you can see them again next year.
Kirie Fujio : [after a two seconds silence] You must be my enemy.
Touko Aozaki : Yes I know the person who attacked you and I know the person you attacked.

Kirie Fujio : [as she sits in her wheelchair]
[Voice Over]
Kirie Fujio : This woman, Touko Aozaki, she left...
Touko Aozaki : [Voice Over] There are two ways to escape. Escape without purpose, and escape with a purpose. The first way is called "float", and the second way is called "fly". You're the one who decides which one of the two was your view from above.
[Kirie leaves her room in a wheelchair]
Touko Aozaki : But it's a mistake to choose your path based upon your sins that you carry. We don't choose our path based on the sins that we carry, But we must bear our sins on the path we choose.
Kirie Fujio : [Voice Over] ... Those were her last words. But she must have known what kind of end I choose. Because I could not fly. I did nothing but float arround.
[Moments later she moves through the streets]
Kirie Fujio : I'm weak, so I can't do what she said.
[She is entering the Fujio building]
Kirie Fujio : So I can't resist the temptation.
[She enters to the elevator]
Kirie Fujio : The flare I felt when my heart was pierced. The overwhelming wave of death and the throb of life. I always thought I had nothing, but there is something so simple and precious inside me. But it should be impossible to die that night.
[She moves to the roof]
Kirie Fujio : would be vain to wish to return to have a spectacular end.
[She rises from her wheelchair]
Kirie Fujio : Death pierced me like a needle, like a sword, like a lightning.
[She walks to the ledge]
Kirie Fujio : So try to be as close to that moment as possible. All is well. The method has already been chosen. I do not even need to say what it is.
[She jumps into the void]
Kirie Fujio : I think my goal should come after a long fall from one place to watch the world from above.
[the sound of a body crashing the floor is heard]

Touko Aozaki : Hey, Shiki. The dolls and artificial arms can seem more real if you spend more time and effort. but they are nothing more than containers if they have a soul that moves. could say the same of the human body is not funny unless it has a soul that moves. Would only be one container. is empty, As you were before.

Announcer : ...And this leaves the Fujio Building suicides in a total of eight. According to police investigations, this case is similar to the previous seven...
Mikiya Kokutou : [Watching the TV] What? Eigth?
Announcer : ...in which there was no suicide note or struggle signs in the victims...
Shiki Ryogi : Hey, Touko. Are all humans end up as well when they can fly a little?
Touko Aozaki : In the past no one has tried to fly using only human power. The words "Fly" and "Fall" go together. But the more one concentrate on flying, most forget that detail. As a result, you end up flying above the clouds even after death. Without falling down, but as if you fell into the sky.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Confused by the talking] Um... Sorry, but I don't know what are you talking about.
Touko Aozaki : Oh. there was a person floating in the Fujio Building , and the ghosts of the eight girls who committed suicide there were flying around. The question is, Were they Flying or Floating? Actually, It's a pretty simple story.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Still Confused] Um... yes, whatever. It sounds like something from a cheap novel.

Touko Aozaki : [after see the TV News] Are you interested? She is the fourth. It's almost time... that the public realizes the similarity.

Announcer : [Mikiya is suddenly awakened after being three weeks in a catatonic state] Good morning, here are the news for today, August 31. In local news, we started with the case of the great bridge that collapsed during a storm last month, and reports indicate that it may have been a defect in the structure.
Touko Aozaki : Good morning, Kokutou.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Still sleepy] Good morning, Touko. Sorry. I think I fell asleep.
Touko Aozaki : Don't explain things without importance. I see that. Can you prepare a drink? I want coffee. It would be a good way for your rehab.
Mikiya Kokutou : Ok, coffee...
[Talking to himself]
Mikiya Kokutou : My rehab?

[last lines]
Azaka Kokutou : [Azaka walks with Touko near to the abandoned building] It seems that yesterday's suicide was not a high school girl.
Touko Aozaki : Mmm, Yes...
Azaka Kokutou : The reporter said she probably killed herself because she was suffering from that strange disease and her case is not related to the other suicides.
Touko Aozaki : So... Are not related, huh? Well, I guess that's how they see it.
Azaka Kokutou : I can not understand what does suicide people think about. Do you understand it Touko?
Touko Aozaki : [after a cigarette puff] There's no reason to kill oneself.
[Looking at the Fujio Building]
Touko Aozaki : Perhaps she could not fly today.
