An unexpected return

[dame_tsuna]

Who: Tsuna and Open
What: A fired musician inexplicably returns. Your guess is as good as mine.
When: Backdated to around May 7th
Where: Virgo entertainment, and later around town
Warnings: General confusion? Questions with no answers? Basically none.

A-

[It's almost surreal. Tsuna only has a few foggy memories of the last month or so, but something tells him that might be a good thing. The truly strange thing is that apparently he's been re-hired? Except he doesn't actually remember being fired. He does remember the hospital. But a shudder runs through him every time he tries to examine those fleeting memories. So maybe it's something he should just leave alone. Just be grateful that he isn't dead. Especially considering that he'd always believed the people who'd been 'fired' had just been quietly disposed of. If he's alive, then maybe....

He's been slowly making his way toward the Surviving Friday penthouse. He's really not sure what he's going to say to Ankh or Ryouta. He's been told that Nia and Momo are gone, and he can't help but feel responsible somehow. Maybe if he'd been around, he could have.... well... something.]

B-

[Later on, when the walls of Virgo's headquarters have become too stifling to stand, Tsuna is surprised to find that he's still allowed the freedom of walking around the city. Not alone, of course. A 'guard' is sent with him. But at least he can get some fresh air.

He doesn't have a particular goal in mind, and is just wandering around one of the shopping districts. There's a lot on his min right now. Not only is half of his band gone, Flowers over Bones has... well... he doesn't want to believe they're dead. Missing is an easier way to think of it. And the 'world tour' they're about to go on... he has a really bad feeling about it. Is there any way out of it? Probably not. He catches sight of his own troubled expression in a store window and sighs.]

What am I doing...?

They... they replaced him?

[Wow that is really creepy. It also starts a niggling worry in the back of Tsuna's mind that maybe he was replaced too. But... he'd know if he were a pod person? Right?]

Why... why would they do that? D-did something happen to the real Ankh?

[This is like some kind of terrible science fiction movie and he can't quite suppress a nervous shudder.]

I don't know!

[And Kise starts to cry again]

I've just been keeping my head down, pretending everything's okay, and then suddenly everything is wrong!

[dame_tsuna]

[And once again, Tsuna can feel his own eyes well up in sympathy.]

I'm sorry...

[Even though Ryouta already told him it wasn't his fault, Tsuna still feels like he should apologize.]

I'm sorry I left you alone with.... with all of this. I don't... I don't even remember being fired. Or what I did wrong. Or why they let me come back... But I wish... I could have been here.

[Not that he thinks it would have been fun, but then at least Ryouta wouldn't be facing all this on his own.]

I don't know either. I thought and thought and thought about it. Nothing made sense.

I mean. You work hard, and you're a great drummer.

I think they just like to fire people and see how much it hurts the others. I knew people like that when I was a model.
