Line 8:
During their separation, she communicates with Noboru via email, but as the fleet travels farther from the Earth, the transmission time grows increasingly longer, until eventually Noboru must wait years for any word that Mikako is even still alive.
In addition to the short proper, a variety of adaptations and supplemental materials exist. A drama CD was released a few months later. A light novel by Waku Ooba was also published the same year. A manga illustrated by Mizu Sahara began serialisation in 2004 and was published as a compiled volume in 2005. There is also a second novel by Arata Kanoh, ''Words of Love/Across the Stars'', which was initially published in 2006 but would not get an English translation until 2019. This one digs deeper into Mikako and Noboru's individual perspectives.

Line 24:
* [[FTL Travel]]: The UN vessels like the ''Lysithea'' are capable of FTL travel using warp engines, although they lack the FTL communications capabilities to complement it.
* [[Good Is Not Soft]]: Mikako may have a tender heart, but that doesn't stop her from bloodily cutting Tarsians up or [[Goomba Stomp|Goomba Stomping]] them to deliver a [[Coup De Grace]].
* [[Gray Rain of Depression]]: It is raining when, after a year of Mikako being incommunicado, Noboru tries to gather the resolve to let go of her. {{spoiler|At this point, a much-delayed email from her arrives, and the rain clears up shortly afterwards.}} Later in the film, it is raining on Agartha when the stress Mikako has been experiencing boils over and she breaks down.
* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: Tarsians bleed in dramatic delayed-reaction jets of it.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The suits deployed by the UN Navy are called Tracers.
