[Reborn!] Flowers Through the Mist: Extras

Everything in the world is a metaphor. "Just as chameleons in the desert are sandy-colored and those in the jungle are green, everyone changes to fit their surroundings. And he... well, he might be the most perfect example of all." "His personality, the way he speaks, probably everything about him is the result of imitation." "So sometimes I wonder: is that child a 'he' or... an 'it'?" "But no matter what the right answer is," "a creature with an [appetite] for humans is just an empty beast, no matter how well it disguises itself." (by Panda's Bagpipes) Be careful of children raised by foxes, okay? * Todd Edward was the first original character I fell in love with. That's why, long after I left the Reborn! fandom, I still couldn't stop thinking about the Twelfth Generation collaborative fic. (Later I started writing Kuroko's Basketball and Touken Ranbu, but I kept working on this story and developing the characters.) I've been out of the Reborn! fandom for a long time now, and my love for Byakuran and the other characters has moved on. But when I look back at Todd, my longing to witness his whole life is still just as strong. I think I'll finish his story someday.
