Ah- Oh, Tsuna! Don't worry, I'm fine.

....Really?

...

Yeah.

You know you can tell me if something's wrong, right?

Of course. Now go on, your friends are calling.

Sora smiled gently, watching as Hibari ruffled his parallel self's hair almost affectionately.

The sharp sting in his arm almost made him cry out once more but Sora bit back a scream. "Now then..." He started weakly, beads of sweat falling. "What's going on?"

The second were the voices. They were familiar ones, shining with child-like innocence. He could always hear the affection in them as they sung him praises.
