To Miss Yukari Uchida,
I'm going to die. Farewell, Yukari.
Hitomi Kanzaki
-the suicide note

It's just that I always feel sleepy. I feel sleepy all the time. Maybe something's wrong with me? I wonder why. Maybe I'm too exhausted. Everyone looks so well. But I'm not. That's why I sleep. In sleep, I can fade away...and no one will notice. But nothing changes. Even if I was to fade away, nothing changes.
-just going through the motions...

Yukari: Hitomi, you've been so strange these days, dropping out of the track team and everything. I am the manager of the team, you know. I have to explain all this to the coach.
Hitomi: Don't worry about me.
Yukari: Hitomi...
Hitomi: How annoying...Just leave me alone. Forget about me.
Yukari: I see..
Hitomi: How annoying...
-pushing Yukari away

Just fade away...annoying girl. Just fade away...annoying girl who hurts her friend. Just fade away...someone, please...
-right after her conversation with Yukari

The Earth? Is this a dream? Or a vision? No, this must be real. My wish has come true.
-as she is being transported to Gaia

Hitomi: This is a dream...It must be a dream! It's all a dream! I just have to wake up!
Millerna slaps Hitomi
Hitomi: That hurt...
Millerna: Oh? Then I guess it's not a dream.
-when Hitomi wakes up from fainting

Do I really look so strange?
-said in response to the reactions of Allen's crew to the 'Wing Goddess' ^_^

Hitomi: It's been so stressful. Now I'm exhausted.
Merle: You don't look tired.
-speaking of her whole ordeal on Gaia

Jajuka: Let him die. Free the young man from the sorrow of fighting alone. Death is what he wishes for. Death is peace.
Hitomi: Van...
Jajuka: Sorrow never ceases until death sweeps it away.
Hitomi: Does he want to die? Why? Is he so sad? Is he in that much pain? Why? Why do you live alone in sorrow? You're not alone Van. I want Van to live! I will stay with him. Until he realizes that he is not alone...Until his sorrow is no more, I will stay by his side. There is no sorrow that never ceases. I want to believe that. Just as the rain will eventually stop and reveal a blue sky that we both can see.
-my favorite scene in the movie

I didn't know what to do with myself. I lost my direction in life. I couldn't figure it out. I know how painful it is...to lead a life, hurting others and being hurt. I got so confused and lost the meaning of what it is to live. I just wanted to fade away. We're like kindred spirits, Van. You see...that's why...I want to be by your side. I...want to be with you.
-the forest scene where each confesses their conflicts and feelings

Van? Answer me! Is this the end? If it is...let me see your face one more time! Look at me! Stay with me Van!
-trying to stop Van rampaging in Escaflowne

Van: I can't go back...I can't escape this fight.
Hitomi: You can.
Van: You don't understand. I'm always alone.
Hitomi: I too am alone. It's sad being alone. It's painful. I felt that way too. But if we're together...at times we may hurt each other..and we may even part. But...that is not the end. I'll always be with you.
-inside Van's mind trying to comfort him

Van: Hitomi! Hitomi!
Hitomi: I'm fine, Van. I'm fine! Poor soul. I was like him. I couldn't feel the pain and sorrow of others. I thought I was alone.
Folken: That is why you came to this world, responding to my call.
Hitomi: But I'm different now. Can't you understand? Van's sorrow! Van's pain! You are the one who created Van's sorrow!
-confronting Folken

Hitomi: Hey Van? How long can I stay here?
Van: Until the Mystic Moon calls you back. Until then, I'll be with you.
Hitomi: Thank you.
Hitomi: We'll always be together...
