"SKULL-SAMA, THE IMMORTAL STUNTMAN THAT DEATH ITSELF HATES FOR HE DOES NOT STAY DEAD!"

What a lie.

The Arcobaleno pick up on the untruthful ringing, and they assume that all of that statement is untrue. They think that just because they hear the ringing of a lie, that there is no truth in the other words he speaks.

"Shut up Lackey," Reborn sneers, seeing a lie and missing the truth. He clicks the safety off his gun and aims it at Skull. And the others react no better, another beating, an empty smile, no support and no one seeing the truth.

As he's nursing his pounded head, he thinks of what he said.

It is not death that hates him. He is certain that death would gladly take him, help him leave the world of the living.

It is life that hates him. But even that is not truly right. For life loves him so much it refuses to let him go. Keeps him living.

There is an awfully thin line between love and hate.
