Fruits Basket, Tome 23 Quotes

“I don’t have the answer. But the one thing I do know...is that ‘love’ isn’t just about loving what’s right in front of you. The past...the future...maybe it’s about holding all of them close to your heart. That’s...what I think, at least. When I look at her...that’s what I think.”

“That day...I watched Tohru pick up my scattered beads. I couldn’t find any words to say. Among other things, they were proof of the monster I’d been. I thought I wouldn’t have minded just leaving them to rot. But at the same time...I had this feeling that someday down the line, I might regret not picking them up. Even so, I couldn’t move. So she picked ‘em up instead. It felt like she was protecting both the present and future me. Or maybe...it was even more than that. Maybe she wanted to protect something bigger. Maybe she was trying to save all those feelings from far away...of every poor soul who had to wear a string of prayer beads just so they could live their lives.”
