  • 'About thirty minutes ago, half of Kiyou has stopped. Come home immediately or I'll kill you.' -Li Kouyuu.
  • “Makeup is the war paint of a woman. Whenever you find yourself headed into battle, make sure you wear it. That way you’ll be certain you’ll never cry. If you cry, your makeup will run. And no matter how little you apply, your face will end up looking disgraceful. That’s why no matter how difficult things get, you’ll keep yourself from crying.”
