"An unforeseen situation... An unexpected…" — Makishima Shougo Quote

"Chastity and grace - traditional virtues that have been lost. They comprise the educational ideology of Ousou Academy. They're priorities that are not valued in boys, only in girls. After having them instilled in us, we're shipped out as brand-name product, refined, sheltered maidens, and purchased by men who seek a classic piece of furniture called "a good wife and mother" in a formality known as marriage. Students in this school are all components that will be processed into an artwork called "the lady". They are rough stones waiting to be polished and finished up. They live sad and boring lives, even though there are many other possible ways they could bloom."

"Like God, you mean? That might be pleasurable in its own way, but unfortunately I'm not into being an umpire or a referee, as I can't genuinely enjoy the game unless I'm part of it. And I love this game that people call "life" from the bottom of my heart. That's why I'd like to continue to participate in it as a player, forever and ever."
