I lost..." - Komatsu Nana

"Hey Nana, for instance, if we were lovers would we have been able to fill the gap between us with a hug? or... does everyone endure this loneliness? - Komatsu Nana

"You know Hachi... Back then, when you kept losing yourself in love... Maybe you too were struggling to feel complete, just like me. If so, then I can understand some of those feelings you had. It just that I couldn't beck then. Does the new life you protected at all costs make you feel complete even now? - Osaki Nana

-------

"It's not that I wanted to keep you all to myself, Nana. I just wanted to be needed by you." - Komatsu Nana

"You probably dont realize it, do you? Every move you make stirs my heart around at the streangth of a typhoon." - Osaki Nana

----

"Hey Nana, we were always together, yet I didn't understand you one bit. Forgive me for not realizing that I had been hurting you." - Komatsu Nana

"You know Hachi... I was too small of person to be able to accept everything about you. It's just that I preferred the pain of breaking into pieces, to the loneliness I felt from losing everything. I was just too fragile, It's not your fault." - Osaki Nana

-----

"Hey Nana, Even now, not a day passes without me wishing to see you on the other side of that table. I'd call out your name from my heart. Many times. As many times as it takes." - Komatsu Nana

" Hey Hachi, They say you don't realize how much you care for someone until after they're gone. But I think it's when you come face to face with that person once more that you truly recognize your feelings for them. If I saw everyone again right now I know that I'd depend on them just as mush as I did back then. I'm scared of that. That's why I can't move from this spot." - Osaki Nana

----

"Back then, if I were a bit more mature and a bit more undertyanding of your weaknesses, would our future have been different?" - Komatsu Nana

"You Know Hachi, I wanted to keep you by my side, even if it meant putting a collar around your neck. I was afraid of myself for thinking that, so I always kept a little distance between us. Even now, I cant't make friends easily. I'm still afraid..." - Osaki Nana

-----

“You were a stray cat, strutting so free and full of pride. But I could see your open wound. And without really thinking I just chalked it up to another cool thing about you. I never realized how much you hurt.” - Komatsu Nana

"No matter what path in life you take with who, as long as you're happy, then that's fine with me. I may never become a person who can wish for that from the bottom of my heart... But I wanted to appear strong and graceful in your eyes. Just like a manga heroine, who's too perfect to be real." - Osaki Nana

-----

""Hey Nana, I've always adored you Nana. I wanted to be like you. I still feel that way, so please, sing for me? One more time." - Komatsu Nana

"You know Hachi, I can no longer be the hero in your story, but the name of the heroine in my story is still Nana. The super cute Nana. You." - Osaki Nana

Dear NANA fans, I'm here to ask you all a great favor! I need your investigatory skills in action. I'm writing my licence thesis on anguish and I used the concept in two study cases, one of which is our lovely, favorite series NANA. I have all the manga volumes starting from N°. 12, where the anime left off and I started re-reading the manga as I needed some quotes for my analysis. And the thing is...I couldn't find the place (chapter, volume) for two quotes I needed the most. I knew these quotes from internet photos or posts I found, but no one pin-pointed the chapter and/ or the  volume they were from. I really need to give the exact citations in my paper, so that's why I want to kindly ask for your help.
If you know, or if it happens you find out where these two quotations are from in the manga, please, please let me know! :) I would appreciate it so much!
Here are the two quotes:
1) 'The dreams we are chasing and the reality that is chasing us are always parallel; they never meet.' (The translation may vary a bit).
2) 'Why is it that making our dreams come true and being truly happy are often two separate things?...Even now, I still don't get it.' (This one's a sorrow trigger for me...)
This second quote I found it's from the 22 episode from the anime, but I don't know where it is in the manga.

Thank you all for reading this and for your help!

Also, here is one of my favorite reflections of Ren in the manga:
'All humans who want to see heaven (i.e. through heroine in this context) end up in hell. Does that mean desire is sinful?' (Vol. 13, chapter 47)

And then another quote from Reira, adressed to, of course, Shin:
'If letting go of me is love, I don't want it. Your presence is my only salvation, Shin.' (Vol 13, chapter 47)

And then Hachi:
'When I saw the broken glasses on the floor...I felt abandoned by everything in this world.' (Vol. 13, end of chapter 47).
