Shinji Takeda: Yoshizaki

Quotes 

• Ryosuke Kawashima : Can a computer dial you up itself?

  Yoshizaki : Are you in computer science?

  Ryosuke Kawashima : No, economics, no relation.

  Yoshizaki : Huh, sounds like a hacker.

  Ryosuke Kawashima : A hacker, huh... it said "Do you want to meet a ghost?" Some web site like that.

  Yoshizaki : A ghost, huh?

• Michi Kudo : I'm fine, I got my friends.

  Yoshizaki : You sure? I guess you'll be all right then. You're so trusting and get carried away.

• Yoshizaki : The spirit, or consciousness, the soul, whatever you want to call it, it turns out the realm they inhabit has a finite capacity. Whether that capacity accommodates billions or trillions, eventually it will run out of space. Once it's overflowed to the brim, it's got to overflow somehow, somewhere, but where? The souls have no choices but to ooze into another realm, that is to say, our world. Maybe at first it started with something really simple, once that realm reached critical mass, any device would've sufficed, thrown together with the means and materials at hand. That's how I see it.

• Yoshizaki : But, if this really happened, there's no turning back. No matter how simple the device, once the system's complete, it'll function all on its own and become permanent. In other words, the passage is now open, that's how it looks.

• Yoshizaki : Through that process, it spread around the world. But now, they're no longer the faint presence they began as. You saw one yourself.

  Ryosuke Kawashima : I don't believe your stories.

  Yoshizaki : Right, sorry, it's all hypothetical.
