- Kyon: December 16. It was a morning so cold, it felt like if you were to hit the earth with an ice pick, it would break into nice clean chunks.
- Kyon: That's the way it is. I prefer the original world after all. This one just doesn't suit me. I'm sorry, Nagato. I prefer the Nagato I've known up till now over you. Also, you look better without glasses.
- Yuki Nagato: What are you talking about?
- Kyon: Nagato. Return it to normal. Return yourself to normal. If you ask, I'll help you. You don't have to use that power to forcefully change things. It was fine the way it was.
- Mikuru Asahina: Kyon-kun... It's pointless. This Nagato-san is completely powerless. She's just... a normal girl.
- Kyon: [takes out a gun and points it at Nagato] ... Sorry.
- Mikuru Asahina: Watch out, Kyon-kun!
- Ryoko Asakura: [stabs Kyon in the back with a knife] ... I can't allow you to hurt Nagato-san.
- Kyon: [thinks] What on earth... What on earth is this...
- Ryoko Asakura: [giggles and then pulls out the knife and blood splatters everywhere] ...
- Kyon: [falls down on the ground yells]
- [thinks]
- Kyon: It hurts... it hurts!
- [looks on his hand which is covered in blood]
- Kyon: [thinks] It hurts! It hurts!
- Yuki Nagato: [falls down to her knees in shock] ...
- Kyon: [thinks] It hurts! It hurts!
- Yuki Nagato: [looks at Asakura] Asakura-san...
- Ryoko Asakura: [giggles and then walks up to Nagato] That's right, Nagato-san. I'm here for you.
- [looks at her]
- Ryoko Asakura: I'll eliminate anything that threatens you.
- [gets close to her and touches her chin]
- Ryoko Asakura: That's the reason I was created.
- Yuki Nagato: [goes back a bit and yells] ...
- Ryoko Asakura: [stands up] After all...
- Yuki Nagato: [looks at her] ...
- Ryoko Asakura: [swings the knife so blood splatters on Nagato's face] That's what you wished for... right?
- Kyon: [thinks] No way. There's no way she would wish for that... Nagato's anomalous behavior...
- Ryoko Asakura: [looks at Kyon and walks next him] ...
- Kyon: [thinks] She must have created an aberrant Asakura too. That's all. She must be Nagato's shadow...
- Ryoko Asakura: [gets down to her knees] Let me send you off. You just need to die. You're causing distress to Nagato-san.
- [hits Kyon on his wound]
- Kyon: [yells] ...
- Ryoko Asakura: Does it hurt? Relish the taste, because it's going to be the last sensation you feel in this life.
- [takes the knife and gets ready to stab in slow-motion]
- Yuki Nagato: [grabs the knife before it hits Kyon] ...
- Ryoko Asakura: Why are you... How...
- [falls over]
- Kyon: [thinks] It feels like I've seen this scene before... Crap... I'm getting sleepy...
- Mikuru Asahina: [both versions of Mikuru runs over to Kyon] No, Kyon-kun! Stay with us! I'm sorry, Kyon-kun! Please stay with us! I should have known...
- Kyon: [thinks] That hurts, both you Asahina-sans... Both? Oh, I see... This is a flashback. It's cold. My blood won't stop... Crap. I'm going to die.
- Kyon: [alternate version of Kyon takes the gun and points it at the original Kyon] Sorry, I could have helped out but I held back. Don't worry though, it hurt for me, too.
- Kyon: [original Kyon thinks] Who is that? I don't understand...
- Kyon: [alternate Kyon] We'll deal with it from here. You just sleep.
- Kyon: [original Kyon closes eyes and thinks] Ah... damn... Nagato.
