“Those poems contained the 'little stories' ... and they were filled with an intense sadness. They connected the heart of the reader to the heart of the writer so they could shove the deep pain and sorrow. Sharing those feelings can encourage or save people.”
Shaw Kuzki, Soul Lanterns

“I can imagine you, Shun and Nozomi, having read this far, thinking 'but will making one little story into a picture really be able to express a problem so huge?' This world is made up of little stories. Those modest daily lives, those lives that may seem insignificant, they give the world shape — that's what I believe. Don't you think that presenting small stories in details is precisely the most certain way to depict huge things?”
Shaw Kuzki, Soul Lanterns

“She has a hard time communicating with people; she's too wounded emotionally. And since she doesn't have anyone to talk to, I think she forgets how to use her voice.”
Shaw Kuzki, Soul Lanterns
