Quotes 

• Abel : [as they come upon a rare, solitary flower in the forest]  What is it?

  Rima : It's called the Hata flower. It blooms for the space of a moon and then disappears. Yet it never dies. That very moment it blooms again at another place, in another part of the forest.

  Rima : If you look in this place tomorrow and it is gone, you must not be sad, because you know it still exists, not very far away.

  Abel : [looking a little skeptical]  That's a beautiful legend.

  Rima : A legend?

  Abel : A legend is a story that is handed down from generation to generation, until people come to believe it.

  Rima : You do not believe it? You do not believe anything, do you?

  Abel : I believe in what I have to do.

  [kisses her on the forehead and walks away]
