Some quotes from the drama (broadcasted in 2005). Most were excerpts from the diary:
"What's wrong with falling down? You can always stand up again."
"People should not dwell in their past or worry about the future. Just living by each day is hard enough."
"You know, I won't be able to walk again. In speaking too. Gradually, I won't be able to pronounce clearly. No one will understand what I'll be saying. In the end, I'll be bedridden. Speaking and eating will all be difficult to accomplish. Asou, you said it right? Humans are the only greedy ones, and try to live longer. Is it really greed? Trying to live even though it is impossible, is it wrong? I want to return to the past. Make a time machine and return to the past! If it weren't for this disease, I might even be in love. I want to cling to someone's arm to badly."
Asou - It's been a while. I couldn't call you. So I came directly here. Aya - Today...I...had...a dream... Asou - A dream? Aya - Yeah. Before, in my dreams, I was always able to walk, run, and move around freely. Just like the first time that I met Asou-kun. But you know, today's dream wasn't the same. I was...sitting...in a wheelchair. My body...was handicapped. As for my body, even if I pretend to intend that, deep in my heart I don't want to admit it. This is just me though, right? Asou - Is it okay if I say what I'm feeling right now?...I don't know what's going to happen in the future. But right now, what I'm feeling is 100% not a lie. I can say that with confidence. For me, as long as it's you saying it, it doesn't matter how slowly you say it, I'll still listen. If you can't talk over the phone, then I'll come to see you, just like this. I'm not a dolphin. You...you're also not a dolphin. If you want to walk, no matter how slow it'll be, I'll walk with you. Right now, I might not be that reliable. But one day, maybe I'll be able to help. Things can't be the same as they were before, but there's this kind of feeling that's linking us together. I don't think that we're living in different worlds. I...with regards to you... ...I like you.... ...Maybe.... ...I like you, maybe.. ....Probably.
