Chiyuki: What... What part of this is judgment? You're doing the exact same thing he did! [...] Everyone lives with the sins they've committed! Everyone bares some hatred! How is inflaming that considered judgment?! What can be gained by doing this?!
Decim: I must draw out the darkness that lurks in every person's soul...
Chiyuki: The darkness of the soul? That's a joke! You've never even lived. You don't understand the first thing about grief.
Decim: I believe I do understand.
Chiyuki: It's not just grief. There are as many emotions as there are people. The fragility of someone who lets their anger gets the best of them, the strength to overcome fear out of love... You can't comprehend the way they feel. So how could you possibly pass judgment on them? [...] All you're doing is dredging up the darkness within people, and saying "Ah, indeed" while you look on impassively [...] Once in a while you foist them off with a hug! How is that anything but an act?! This definitely isn't right. What you've been carrying out isn't judgment!
