- Hiyori Iki: What's a Nora? I originally assumed it was a name.
- Tenjin: Noras are a disgrace, a private part of a god's life, if you will. Private parts. Get it?
- Tenjin: Normally, a Regalia has one name and serves one master. It is common knowledge that to serve a new master one must be "unnamed" by the previous master, just as Mayu was.
- Hiyori Iki: Then why do Noras exist?
- Tenjin: In general, they're used to perform jobs you wouldn't give to your own Regalias.
- Nora: [to Yakine] You really have pretty eyes. They're like the fruit of the hawthorn plants swaying in the breeze, but not even birds will eat them. They're not sweet, bitter, or even poisonous, yet they provide nothing. They're completely useless, empty fruit. No one bothers to pick them, so they're left all alone to wilt, wither, and die. Poor little boy.
