Sumiko (to Yoshikawa):
“Have you ever tried to imagine the continuation of Cinderella's story?”

“Cinderella and the prince got married and lived happily ever after. Everyone is satisfied with this ending and shuts the book. But ultimately, they might not be able to get over the barrier of their status difference. The prince might have an affair. Their life begins only after the story ends.”

“When something happens, let's say, when the culprit is caught, society will deem the case closed. But to the victim and the ones involved, they will continue to live on forever in the incident.”

….

Kurosaki (to Yoshikawa):
“ …. It may be a thing of the past to the TV and newspapers, but until the victim himself decides so, the story will never end.”
