The kiss of death.

This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery.  The Kiss of Death (El Petó de la Mort in Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.

All by Okuba.  There’s a “Puella Magi Madoka Mafia” tag that explains this, but I prefer to think the idea was to cast them specifically as the Turks from FF7.  Yes, of course they’re drawing from the same source, but look at Kyoko!  She’s obviously Reno, the white coat makes Madoka Rufus, and for some reason Mami seems to be playing Rude.
