Mai –
Mai had read all the shojo mangas. She was very glad Naru didn't actually go to her school. She didn't think she would be able to fight off the roving bands of fan girls. They looked dangerous.
At least, according to the manga.

Yasu –
Yasu watched Masako as she watched Naru as he ignored her. It was a strange circle, like a spinning wheel. What was she trying to do? he wondered. It was never going to work.
Hey, he thought, I'm right here, when you need someone to talk to.

Ayako –
Just don't, Ayako thought. Just don't look at me like that. I'm mad at you. Beyond mad.
It didn't work. Get over it. We tried, but we are two very strong-willed people. And don't forget you were the one who wanted to move on. I've gone kind of numb; I really should get this lack of heartbeat checked.
Don't come up behind me and whisper in my ear. I'm still mad at you.
Don't take advantage of the fact I'll probably get over it.
Nah! – Shania Twain

Mai –
He's coming back from England today. No, no, no. I can't be excited. I might disrupt the bandages over my heart, and break open the still raw wound beneath them.

Mai –
Across the haunted lake, people were dancing around a small bonfire. Mai wondered how they could be so happy.
They looked like spirits, their silhouettes and shadows twisting, turning, limbs and hair flying.
She wished she could join them in the carefree dance, just for one night.
But she was afraid to pass by the lake in the dark.

Noll and Gene –
Gene loved traveling. Noll was slightly glad they weren't older, which kept Gene out of the bars and other dangerous corners of the town.
While the lecture or exorcism they were attending was the only thing important to Noll, Gene would have been glad to run wild when the business was over, creating any scandal he could get his hands in. And if Noll wasn't careful, he would be dragged in.
