Mikoto's hand trembled as she picked up the letter, lying among the pools of blood. On the outside, it read: To those concerned. Mikoto opened the letter, her mind in shock. As she read the letter, her eyes widened.

"Hanami? But why?" Someone called her name, and she dropped the letter.

I would tell you all these things, but you wouldn't listen. That's why I'm writing. I was always happy, but did you ever see? Did any of you look under? And see my pain? No, you just saw the surface. All my pain was caused by no one listening. I cried by myself because there was o one else. All of my friends? I was your pity party, your shoulder to cry on. But none of you ever offered your shoulder when I cried, when I was silent, you wouldn't notice. I hate you all. That's why you are all dead. I'm going to join Akatsuki to completely get my revenge. Goodbye.

--The happy mask,

Hanami

"Mikoto! Hanami's gone!"

"H-Hanami killed them! All of them!"

"What are you talking about? Oh, Kami…" Images soaked into Mikoto's mind. Bodies, lying in puddles of red, horribly disfigured to the point of anonymity. Mikoto fainted.
