* In [[Hunter X Hunter]], a nameless [[Posthumous Character]] was taught the flute version of the [[Brown Note|Sonata of Darkness]] and was instructed to never play it. One time, he and his friend Melody got drunk. Melody's friend played it. Melody's appearance changed, and at least one of the limbs she now keeps covered was vaguely depicted and Kurapika sure as hell flinched when he saw it. Melody gained the ability super-hearing. The person that played the music's body was as warped and mangled as Melody's limb. Needless to say, the person that played it died. |
