I don't think I'm going to work today... I think there's something wrong, but I don't feel sick or anything.

Don't come pick the lock on my door this time, Mukuro... I really don't want to see anyone right now. If anyone wants to talk, I'll have my computer on.

Reborn...? There's something very, very, very wrong right

I don't know if we are on the same page here hon, but are you changed too?

I'm not the only one?? I wonder what's going on here...

Re: [Text]

So you are changed too.

And what the hell is with this note on my door!?

[tonno_in_bianco]

There... was a note on the door?

Huh, I guess there is one... Do they mean that this change is supposed to be a costume?!

I've been watching the chaos. It seems to be happening to nearly everyone in town. I don't believe it's merely caused by hatred.

Reborn..?

So it's not just hating someone..? Why would I turn into someone like Byakuran, then? I'd rather be anyone other than this...

Yes.

From the pattern I'm seeing from the others, it could simply be a sort of negative emotion. Hatred, I assume, would be one of them. As for Xanxus, perhaps jealousy as I don't think hatred could last even while he has to work for you. And another I've seen, depression.

Huh... I guess that makes sense then...

What about you, Reborn? Did you turn into someone else too?

[Tsuna's really curious to know to who (and why) Reborn changed.]

[Tsuna doesn't call back when he hears Gokudera calling him from the other side of the door. He recognizes the voice as Mukuro's... but no one in Lucerne calls him Tenth besides Gokudera, so there's only one person it can possibly be. He can hear him struggling with the lock, but it sounds like a fruitless effort.

He tries to ignore the sound of his door clicking by listening to some music on his computer. He doesn't realize that the door's been unlocked until he hears it swing open. He looks over his shoulder, feeling stunned that Gokudera managed to unlock his door from the outside.]

... Gokudera-kun..?

[It's a little jarring to see Gokudera's facial expression on Mukuro's face.]

[Tsuna finds this almost as confusing as when he saw Xanxus using his own face to speak to him... then again, at least Xanxus still sounded like Xanxus and wasn't using Tsuna's own voice against him.

Tsuna could tell the uncertainty in Gokudera's eyes as Gokudera looked at him. He found it hard to look at Gokudera's eyes right now, even though it was probably the easiest way to remind himself that it isn't Mukuro standing there in front of him.

He sighs and he walks over toward his bed and he sits down on it.]

Byakuran...

[He doubts Gokudera's ever even heard of that name before.]

You're from... when we first went to the Melone base, aren't you? Well... after we find Shouichi, we're introduced to a new enemy... and this is his face.
