- Takumi Nakamura: [a loud howling sound is heard throughout the forest and Arthur yells if anyone is there] There is no one.
- Arthur Brennan: Then what was that?
- Takumi Nakamura: Tamashii.
- Arthur Brennan: What's tamashii?
- Takumi Nakamura: Tamashii are spirits. They are souls wandering these woods, until it is their time. Things are not what they seem here.
- Arthur Brennan: It was probably just an animal.
- Takumi Nakamura: There are very few animals in Aokigahara.

- Takumi Nakamura: This place is what you call purgatory.
- Takumi Nakamura: There are answers for this in science?
- Arthur Brennan: There are answers for everything in science.
- Takumi Nakamura: But not in God?
- Arthur Brennan: God is more our creation than we are his.
- Takumi Nakamura: [Upon discovering a flower as they try to find their way out of the forest at night] It is said a flower grows when a soul has crossed over from this place.
- Arthur Brennan: There's hardly any soil.
