"Hey Dame-Tsuna. You should just die."
"Okay." Smiling, Tsuna swiftly stabbed himself in the throat leaving horrified bullies to scream in disbelief.
The last thought before letting the darkness consume him was, 'Ha, better get prepared for the consequences, I heard teens don't get death sentences so you'll be fine: At least for your survival, that is.'
After that, everything went dark.
It felt more like drifting into a timeless dream while being conscious. Just feeling drowsy, that's all.
"Hey, wake up."
Oh, he was closing his eyes?
His brain wasn't functioning properly.
Moving his eyelids took so much effort than usual.
What he meant by "usual" was trying to open his bruised eyes puffy from his body doing its work.
At least it wasn't impossible…
When he finally managed to open his eyes, he was staring at a void of purple and black haze.
And he was floating.
Cool.
'I can check out one of my bucket list now,' Tsuna idly thought.
"Hey, don't ignore me."
Right.
He turned around to see a boy around his age crouching down with both hands upon his face.
"You're quite rude to ignore people. Did you get disciplined at all? I guess not…"
Huh…
"It's also rude to blatantly point out negative opinions to people," Tsuna remarked, "Who are you? Shinigami?"
"Huh… So there are other people copying my ludicrous style… they wear this too? I pity them…"
"Ah, no. Just wondering if you'll take my life away." 'What's with his hat?'
"I heard that. Regarding your life... You're already dead, what can I do?"
"Take me to the world of the dead?"
"Ah. I can stretch you to be more flexible than a ballerina."
"And what use will it be?!"
"You know. Touch your toes."
"My joints would be disconnected!"
"You're already dead anyway, what's the harm?"
"That it'll be painful."
"Tch."
"You were seriously trying to get me do it?!"
"Aaahhh – too much trouble. Sempai~ Help me~"
"Argh, do your job properly for once, Fran."
A guy appeared out of nowhere.
Well, probably from the void, but can't assume it without concrete evidence so…
He had the same green hair but with more droopy eyes and a star under his right eye.
"Okay, I'll say this once so memorize it already."
"Hai~"
"For you to be in this realm means that you haven't used up all your life energy. Usually, they disperse into thin air, but…" He tapped his heart. "… in your case, it's still dwelling inside you."
"So what's going to happen to me?"
"Well, there were others like you, it's nothing new… So basically—"
"You're going to return back to your own realm." Fran butted in.
"—Only that your past interactions will be lost into this depths of void. Gah, only that part you memorize so well. Are you doing this on purpose?"
"No way I'll do that to my dear sempai—right, rude guy?"
(Irked) "You're the rude one!"
"Wah—so rude. Ah, time's up."
Tsuna began to fall into the hazy void.
"Wah!"
"Try not to die again 'kay? At least 'till your time is up…" The senior said lazily, "Mou, I'll never get a tea time at this rate…"
"Good luck with achieving your dream of becoming the greatest ballerina~ Bye bye~"
"Dakara! I don't want to be a ballerina!"
That was the last cry Tsuna made before falling deep, deep into the void and succumbing to slumber.
