Rodique: Don’t tease people like that. Karoun: Why would I tease you? Don’t you agree that the warmth of human skin feels soothing? Karoun: Whenever a heart is frozen, even that will become a troublesome thing. Anyone who doesn’t have the warmth of human skin cannot continue to live.

Karoun: I’m your friend, Rodrique. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 135 Kukuru: Rodrique, what was that earthquake just then.... Kukuru: Ah.... Karoun: He must have overexhausted himself, and could not keep a tight rein on his own power. Karoun: It’s alright now, I’ll look after him. Kukuru: Ah, Kukuru: that’s good. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 136 Karoun: Oh yes, your name is Kukuru? You are such slave-drivers, to exhaust him to such an extent. Kukuru: ---!? % Karoun: Yes, I have to make Rodrique trust me from the bottom of his heart.
