Obviously in a city where living space is at a premium it looks like "dying space" is too. Only way to stand out is to go tall!

Nothing unusual. There is a immortal villain inside that building on the right. He has a machine, that accumulates the souls of the people inside the other building... These souls will allow him to stay immortal for another century.

This is one of the reasons girls love makeup products. Some of them are just so beautiful!! You almost don't wanna use it and just stare at it for hours and take good care of it, so it wouldn't ever get ruined...
