"Mmm... maybe I'll sleep a bit more..." "Anything is fine with me~" "Praising me won't get you anything, you know?" Polite and formal during events or work. "Thank you very much." "Sorry to have kept you waiting." "I'm happy to hear you say that." Right before a deadline: "...I'm done for, I'm gonna die." "Six more hours... six more hours..." "It's okay... it's okay, I can do this..." "Well... somehow, it'll work out."
