[Room 2-01] Romeo woke up feeling strange, it took a moment to figure out that he felt normal again. He put his hands on his head, the antlers were gone and he wasn't super strong anymore.

He sat up looking for Piccolo who peered at him from the bed side table. He blinked at him as everything he had done over the last two weeks crashed down on him. "Piccolo..." His voice cracked as he reached over to pick up the Weasel and cuddle him. Tears sprung to his eyes, he had killed people... Killed people and hurt them...

Deep down he knew right away that it was because the bad people. They had made him strong and made him want to hurt adults... But he had still done it. He had wanted to hurt them and he had killed them. He started to cry.

He was a bad person. Only bad people hurt others. Strong people didn't, heroes didn't hurt others. They used their powers for good. Romeo had never had powers before, but when he did he used them for evil that wasn't something heroes did!

Standing up Romeo tried to make his bed, but his eyes kept trying to cry and his spirits were very low. Then he noticed something at the end of his bed. He picked it up and his eyes widened as he saw the red hat that Mister Rossi's mum had given him in Milano.

The hat he had given Alfredo to take with him to heaven...

[Floor 48] Romeo ran out of his room, hat clutched in his hands. He didn't know where he was going to go, he had to find everyone and say sorry. He didn't know how to say sorry for such a bad thing but he had to try. Because even if what he had done was really really bad he should try and make it up and say sorry.

However when he ran down from the dormitories he found himself on an outside floor instead of the jail floor. It was a graveyard... Romeo stopped running; because you had to be respectful in graveyards and began to walk through it. He saw a name though, one that he recognised... And another.

He began reading the names really carefully. Some of them he didn't know but lots of them he did. They were all the people who had been here and disappeared...

Mister Jason had lied. He had said that they were okay. That they were on their worlds and that the bad people could see them. But they weren't... They had lied and all his friends were dead...

He hurried through the graveyard looking at all the stones until he found the one he was looking for, and then stared in horror at Molly's grave.

"Molly..." He sat down tracing the name with his finger. He didn't know if heaven was real or if it was destroyed like everything else. But he hoped it was real and still there. And that Molly was with Alfredo...

"It's Romeo, if you can hear me. I hope you are in heaven. You should look for Alfredo though he probably already found you because he will have been watching me. I'm sorry they stole your hat Alfredo."

He rested his elbows on his knees and placed his chin on his hands. "They made me be a bad person. Like when they made you kill me but I killed lots of people... For ages and I wanted to... I think they will all think I am really bad now. But I didn't want to hurt them. I promised to help Kidou, to help protect him and stop him hurting people. But then I killed him.

I tried to hurt mister Itachi as well. I broke my promises and that was bad too." He sighed, "I don't know what to do Molly. Everything's so bad and scary and I'm trying to be really brave like you but they gave me super strength just like you and I hurt lots of people. I was a really bad superhero."

He spoke to Molly for a while longer, it calmed him down and stopped the tears from falling and though people who are dead can't answer back he did think he knew what to do when he stood back up and returned to the staircase.

[Around the tower] Romeo went searching for everyone he had hurt while he had super strength. The right thing to do was apologise and he was going to do it properly. He was wearing the hat and began by going to the rooms of all the adults he had hurt. If he didn't find them he would go to all the floors.

He was also looking for his friends, because he had to make sure they were okay. Because he hadn't been a very good super hero but that didn't mean he couldn't be a good friend.
