Quote by Natsuo Kirino

“You know," she murmured, "we're all heading straight to hell." "Yes," said Masako, giving her a bleak look. "It's like riding downhill with no brakes." "You mean, there's no way to stop?" "No, you stop all right - when you crash.”

After I got home I began to see things in slow motion, see the actions that might’ve been mistakes.”
