Hibiki Asakura

"I'd say it's a bit more foolish to kill someone you love, under the pretense of "protecting" them. Selfishness can be coated with lies, history has proven that over and over. Just as your empty words are coated with passion, so too are your motives and reasons behind these actions of yours. I fight because it is my destiny, and I prefer it like that. Whether it be slaying an angel or a devil, it's my job and I'm going to do it."

- Hibiki speaking to Seireitou Kawahiru


 * "An incarnation of the pure essence of purpose." - Seireitou-shishō
