15) "We're bound to run into hardships again one day. Then we can pull out these happy memories as if they're candies in a candy jar and endure those moments. That's why we need to gather as many good memories as possible right now."

16) "I like how there's a cemetery in the middle of a park. You're not buried in a mountain or scattered at sea. You're resting near your home. It makes death seem like nothing."

17) "We passed this place on our way back to the hotel and saw a beautiful full moon. I still remember the smell, the moon, and the wind of that day. That's what memories are.
