Jo: I really do like you though. So will you be my friend no matter what?
Shiki: It's human emotion and human nature. Demons are born from despair, and magical girls use hope to fight them.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Jo: Thank you! That means a lot to me.
Shiki: It's not like human nature is all despair Imca. But we will never get rid of all sadness, all anger, all depression. Demons are manifestations of those feelings.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Shiki: Yes. Demons feed off ambient despair sucking away the emotions of those that cross their path. They're powered by those emotions but those feelings exist independent of them.
Jo: Yeah. The last think I need is more stress.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Shiki: What's the matter?
Jo: Yeah... Regardless of who he picks the loser will be unhappy, and he'll be unhappy.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Jo: So I'm glad I'll have your friendship either way.
Shiki: It's the nature of life... It's harder for me because I need to do it alone.

Jo: (walks through the hallway)

Jo: Only one of us can be with him...
Shiki: What else can I do? There's no other magical girls around here.
