There is, of course, a high chance that the paintings on these stone walls will disappear with the wind and rain.

"Ah, what a shame!" — Can't help feeling like that right now. But first, let's figure out how to finish these wall paintings, eh? A graffiti maker, who accomplished nothing— Bah, my name's not worth mentioning |
