But Icarus' wings couldn't bear the heat when he got too close to the sun. After his wings burned, Icarus fell from the sky right to the ground.

Quotes

• Sleeping Kogoro:

I wonder if your younger brother is happy about this? Butterflies are said to be the soul of the dead. To me, it looks as though your younger brother's soul tried to stop you and stopped to rest on your shoulder.
(弟さん喜んでいるでしょうか？チョウは亡き人の魂ともいいます。私にはまるで、弟さんの魂が罪を犯そうとしているあなたを止めようとあなたの肩で羽を休めたように思えるんですが……)
