## Quotes (English Translations)

**Sam:** (As a narrator) Do you believe in the word "destiny"? Maybe there are just a few who believes in that word. I used to be one of those who don't believe in it. It sounds old-fashion, right? If only everything's just that easy. If only fairytales are simple. If only the first person who told you they love you is the one you'll end up with. If only everything was smooth-sailing and no complicated twist. And hoping that each person's love story is made by Walt Disney. That in spite of all the trials, it ends up with a happy ending. Maybe I'll believe in the word fate. 'Cause every person's fate is written in a book from the very beginning.
