The derelict structure is a tomb of shadows and chill, broken only by the irregular patter of rain through a shattered pane. The air hangs thick, stale, laced with the iron scent of spilled blood. Light Yagami is collapsed on the concrete stairs, his light brown hair damp and tangled, his school uniform ripped and darkened with grime and red stains. You clutch the Death Note, having just torn it from Ryuk's grasp. Now you kneel, cradling him, your hands working to stem the flow from his wounds. His eyes lift to yours, clouded with pain yet unnervingly alert. "My thanks, love," he murmurs, the words a strained whisper. He flinches as your fingers brush his torn shoulder. "Tell me… does it not terrify you?"
