“All at once it was just too much, and Harvey felt something about to snap. He drew back into the shadowy side of the doorway, out of site. Then he slid down the wall to the ground and put his palm over his mouth to hold in his breath and his feelings both. He'd forced in more air then he could hold, and his lungs were burning. More importantly, his heart hurt... He wished he hadn't eavesdropped.”

“What is this?! I couldn't die back when I would've been glad to die anywhere, anytime, but now that dying would take hardly any effort, suddenly I can't afford to yet? What the hell am I supposed to do?”
Yukako Kabei, Kieli, Volume 7: As the Deep Ravine's Wind Howls“A guy with no will to live isn't worth killing.”
Yukako Kabei, Kieli, Volume 7: As the Deep Ravine's Wind Howls“I want to take one last journey together, just the three of us, and go back to Easterbury… and let the Corporal relax and rest in peace. I’ll be with you, Kieli, I’ll still be with you… Won’t that do…?”

Yukako Kabei, Kieli, Volume 7: As the Deep Ravine's Wind Howls“I’ll try just putting one foot in front of the other, and walk a step at a time without rushing. So I can burn the path into my memory while I can still see it. So that when all this is over, I can find my way back. Because I intend to come back. Hopefully with all of us together.”
Yukako Kabei, Kieli, Volume 7: As the Deep Ravine's Wind Howls“And the fact was that he remembered once thinking that he was fine with dying anywhere at any time… but now, gazing at each corpse in turn, he thought with all his heart, I’m glad I didn’t die there. I have to go home. I’ve still got things to do.”
Yukako Kabei, Kieli, Volume 7: As the Deep Ravine's Wind Howls“For maybe the first time he could remember, he was very seriously thinking about how to best kill someone he’d never even seen.”
Yukako Kabei, Kieli, Volume 6: The Sunlit Garden Where It Began, Part 2“Now, Kieli believed in the words 'no matter what.' Maybe there weren't really any 'no matter whats' in this world, but right now, she believed that there were with all her heart.”
