Ayu Tsukimiya introductions quotes from Kanon

Ayu

[Sighs] He's late again...[Adjusts hat] I was starting to feel a little bit sad...[Yuichi arrives in front of Ayu.] [Narrating] And then there he was, standing right in front of me again.

Yuichi

Hey, sorry I took so long!

Ayu

[Aloud] You're late! Way too late!

Yuichi

Sorry. I was reporting you.

Ayu

Reporting me? What the heck are you talking about?

Yuichi

I had to! The fashion police said to look out for suspicious characters.

Ayu

What looks suspicious?

Yuichi

All of you.

Ayu

Ugū, that's a mean thing to say!

Yuichi

Well, what's with the hat? You trying to get beat up or something?

Ayu

Don't laugh, okay?

Yuichi

I won't laugh.

Ayu

You aren't gonna laugh at me?

Yuichi

You have my promise as a gentleman that no matter what happens I'm not going to laugh.

Ayu

That totally sounds like a lie, but okay. Fine. Remember; you promised.

Yuichi

You may not believe it, but I'm more than capable of keeping my promises.

Ayu

Well, I went to the barber because I needed to get my hair cut again. But then...[Takes off her hat to reveal her short hair.] He cut a lot off. [Yuichi starts laughing hard at Ayu.] [Narrating] He laughed loud and long without holding anything back. [Aloud] Ugū! You gave me your word you weren't gonna laugh at me!

Yuichi

Oh, man. With your hair that short, you look even more like a boy than you did before. That's what you get for trying to go to a barber.

Ayu

But I've never gotten my hair cut anywhere else...

Yuichi

Next time you go I'll have Nayuki take you to a salon.

Ayu

Yeah, that sounds good...

Yuichi

Come on. Let's get going. [Helps Ayu into her wheelchair.] Aunt Akiko said she's making some taiyaki for you.

Ayu

Seriously?

Yuichi

Shiori, Mai, Kaori, and Sayuri are all at the house right now, too. Everybody's waiting for us.

Ayu

Then we'd better get there quick.

Yuichi

Right! [Starts pushing her wheelchair.]

Ayu

I'd like to learn how to make taiyaki, too. [Narrating] The memories that stopped are slowly to flow again while holding on to a single fragment of a miracle. [Aloud] Hey, Yuichi?

Yuichi

Hm?

Ayu

Do you think I'll be able to run on my own again?

Yuichi

Of course you will! You'll be running on dirt, on grass, and even on snow. I know you're gonna run again someday.

Ayu

I think so, too. [Giggles] [Narrating] I don't know how long it will take, but that hardly matters. Because I have all the time in the world.

"Do you still remember my name?" (わたしの名前、まだ覚えてる？ Watashi no namae, mada oboeteru?)

"It's called a miracle because it doesn't happen." (起きないから、奇跡って言うんですよ Okinai kara, kisekitte iun desu yo.)

"When spring comes...it would be nice if it would last forever." (春がきて･･･ずっと春だったらいいのに Haru ga kite...zutto haru dattara ii no ni.)

"...I'm a demon hunter." (･･･私は魔物を討つ者だから ...Watashi wa mamono o utsumono dakara.)

Ayu Tsukimiya

"...It's a promise." (･･･約束、だよ ...Yakusoku, dayo.)

Young Yuichi

That doll will grant any wish you make.

Young Ayu

Any wish?

Young Yuichi

But only three of them.

Young Ayu

Will it really grant any wish I make?

Young Yuichi

Of course! But I'm the one granting them. So don't make any wishes that I can't grant.

Young Ayu

Okay. My first wish is...
