In a city there is a town, and in the town there is a village; so what is in the village?

It's frustrating, something that Mello can't do anything about, and that's something that never really does sit well with him. But what is he supposed to do? Rage at nothing? Tear shit up until he feels better ( Read more... )

[Jessica wants to tell everyone the network what has just happened - that not just Jessica is kidnapped (even though it's should be the on the fucking front covers, in her opinion) but several other girls.
