[In the early afternoon, a mass text is sent around to hit everyone's communicators, Shibusen staff and Watch members included.
The message is from Lain, but the font is different from what the other Lains' personalities type with]
We've all been together a long time, haven't we?
But we don't know our friends and neighbors as well as we might think.
Did you know Gai and Kakashi are together? How. Sweet. I wonder if they wanted anyone to know about it... But information's supposed to be shared, right? Oh well~
Did you know Aerith is really dead in her world? I wonder who killed her. It might be someone we already know, or maybe they haven't arrived yet. You'll have to ask her!
We have a lot of murderers here, now that I think about it.
--Enma is a mafia boss! Ooh, how scary! He even ordered someone killed in his world! Hiding behind such a pathetic exterior, when inside he's really like this?
--Lady killed her own father! Horrible! I wonder what made her do that? We should ask!
--Namatame believed in that Adachi, and kidnapped and tried to murder lots of innocent people! How can he even live with himself?
--Speaking of Adachi, Rise knew aaaaalllll about him when he was here-- but she didn't say anything! How does that saying go? "There are two kinds of evil in the world: people who do bad things, and people who know bad things are happening but do nothing about them"? I wonder which is worse?
--Oh, and did you know? Saralegui's been talking about Sasuke's situation with Kurapika, behind Sasuke's back! If you want to learn more about your partner, isn't it better to talk to them yourself, instead of asking third parties to sneak around for you?
--Our 'partner' Neji even has his share of secrets. Poor fool, forever a slave to his own household!
--Oh, and Naruto's got the nine-tailed fox demon in him. I wonder how dangerous that makes hi-
No!
[The voice function comes on; there's the sound of ragged breathing and then Normal's voice, with Evil's voice answering with a smug pleasure.]
Why...why...!?
No one's going to trust you now. They're going to abandon you.
No--!
You'll be hated forever. Who can talk to you or tell you anything if something like this can happen?
[Normal breaks down sobbing; Evil laughs, cold and high and Bold's voice cuts through hot and angry]
You bitch! How dare you!?
Stop-- please, stop, my head-- Stop yelling... My head feels like it's going to split...!
[The voice cuts out to Lain's crying]
