As Light walked around the corner, music began playing. Ed looked rather startled, since this music had no apparent source. Sora, however, just nodded as if it was right on cue. Everyone Light walked by suddenly broke into a song about him, but he somehow failed to notice this.
Jiraiya, old ninja with a toad-like wart, began the song. "When a cold wind blows it chills you! Chills you to the bone!"
"But there's nothing in nature that freezes your heart like years of being alone!" Tsunade, female ninja beside him, joined in.
A red-eyed colonel named Jade sang the next line. "It paints you with indifference like a lady paints with rouge!"
Luke, his red-haired friend, ran up to him. "And the worst of the worst…"
"The most hated and cursed…" Mieu, the big-eared cheagle on Luke's shoulder chimed in.
"Is the one that we call Light!" Luke finished, knocking Mieu off his shoulder and stepping on him for interrupting.
"Unkind as any…" sang Sloth, a homunculus who seemed oddly familiar to Ed.
"And the wrath of many…" the smaller homunculus beside her added.
"This is that Yagami Light!" Sloth finished.
Lloyd, Genis, Presea, and Sheena eagerly sang the next line. Zelos sang too, but kept rubbing his throat, as if something was wrong with his voice. The five friends sang in unison, "Oh, there goes Mr. Humbug! There goes Mr. Grim! If they gave a prize for bein' mean, the winner would be him!"
"Oh, Lighty loves his money cause he thinks it gives him power," sang a group of students who looked like they had once been wealthy before Light's greed impoverished the town. Tamaki, their leader, gestured flamboyantly to another group, signaling that they should sing too.
"If he became a flavor, you can bet he would be sour!" Itachi, Sephiroth, and Naraku sang in unison. They all appeared very evil on their own, but looked perfectly innocent next to Light.
"Wow, even the villains don't like him…" Kyo, an orange-haired bystander, said in amazement.
"There goes Mr. Skin flint!" sang Shinji, Rei, and Asuka, another group of teenagers. Asuka elbowed Shinji to make him sing louder. "There goes Mr. Greed!"
As Light walked by a house, Inuyasha and Kagome, a dog-like boy and a schoolgirl, peered out of its window and sang, "The undisputed master of the underhanded deed!"
"He charges us a fortune for his dark and drafty houses," sang another group of students led by a girl who was one of the few townspeople to remain enthusiastic about anything. Haruhi sang, "Us small folk live in misery!"
A silver-haired boy named Yuki walked by, singing "It's even worse for mouses!"
A choir consisting of the most kind-hearted girls in town stood by the side of the road. Colette, Flonne, and Tohru all sang, "He must be so lonely. He must be so sad. He goes to extremes to convince us he's bad. He's really a victim of fear and of pride. Look close and there must be a sweet man inside!"
Light stomped by the choir, glaring at them all. They reconsidered their song for a moment. Then they all shook their heads and said, "Naaaah! Uh-uh!"
By now, large crowds were assembling to sing about Light. A group of ninja sang, "There goes Mr. Outrage! There goes Mr. Sneer!"
Kabuto, the local puppeteer, sang, "He has no time for friends or fun!"
His puppet added, "His anger makes that clear!"
"Don't ask him for a favor cause his nastiness increases!" sang Ichigo and Rukia, a pair of soul reapers sitting on a cart that drove by Scrooge.
"No crust of bread for those in need!" added their friend Chad.
"No cheese for us mices!" Yuki sang again.
"Light liked the cold. He was hard and sharp as a flint, cold and self-contained, as solitary as an oyster," Sora continued to tell his story as the song paused. Ed was starting to look a little impressed.
Now, the crowds of singers were so large that it was impossible to identify individuals. They all sang, "There goes Mr. Heartless! There goes Mr. Cruel! He never gives! He only takes! He lets this hunger rule!"
The choir chimed in, "If bein' mean's a way of life, you practice and rehearse!"
An old gentleman named Watari added, "And all that work is paying off cause Light is getting worse!"
The crowd nodded and sang, louder than ever. "Every day, in every way, Light is getting worse!"
Light finally turned around in front of his office door and glared at the crowd. Everyone gasped and ran away, pretending they had never said anything against him. Light cast one final glance around the town, then entered the dreary building that was his office.
"So, what did you think of that?" Sora grinned, clearly very proud of himself. "I told you I'm Charles Dickens."
Ed just stared from Light's office to the previously singing townspeople, completely speechless.
