Makoto Konno: When I'm not lucky, I'm really not, but I usually am, so it balances out.
Kazuko Yoshiyama: It's a mysterious painting. If you look at it for a long time, you feel completely at peace. We don't know its artist, or whether it even has any artistic value. But... we learned one thing during the restoration. This painting was drawn hundreds years ago in a time of war and famine.
Makoto Konno: Why did someone draw this painting when the world was on the verge of destruction?
Chiaki Mamiya: There was a painting I desperately wanted to see. No matter how far away it was or what sort of place it was in. No matter how dangerous. I wanted to see it. Unfortunately in my time the painting had already been destroyed and before these times its whereabouts were unknown. The only place where there was an accurate record of it was in this present era, in this place. It was here, in this season. All I needed was to see it. I was going to remember it for the rest of my life.
Yuri Hayakawa: Makoto.
Makoto Konno: What?
Yuri Hayakawa: Did you decide between sciences and humanities?
Makoto Konno: No. You?
Yuri Hayakawa: Nope.
Makoto Konno: That's good.
Yuri Hayakawa: Can't make up your mind right away, yeah? Who knows what'll happen in the future? It never ends.
Kazuko Yoshiyama: Sometimes all it takes to fall in love is the guts to try.
