Re Zero Watching the Plot of Deathnote

Chapter 2 Episode 1

The screen began to lit up, everything was very dark. Soon, an ominous chanting emerged as what the darkness was became more visible.

"Are those... bones." Felt was the first to speak, she voiced out everyone's thoughts.

The screen showed large skeletal remains and chains strewed about a rocky, barren wasteland.

"Is that what Subaru's world looks like?" Emilia spoke, who became more worried about Subaru's past life in his world.

"We just have to wait and see first." Crusch assured.

A strange human-like figure was shown sitting on a mountain ledge. It's face was not of a human; its smile stretched far apart than what's normal, and it had sharp teeth, pale skin and a lifeless set of eyes.

"What is that thing!?" Petra squeaked as she buried her face in Frederica who was sitting next to her.

"Repulsive" Priscilla sneered.

"What the hell!?" Felt added, grasping Reinhard's sleeve on instinct. "So creepy!"

"Undeniably off-putting. However what would this creature signify?" Crusch said while remaining composed; she would not allow to be taken aback so easily. Instead, she became more engrossed in the screen.

Roswaal winced at the obvious similarities to their Jester-like appearance. He knew that this creature was unlike any human yet he couldn't stop comparing himself to it. Then he reminded himself exactly why he was wearing his clown outfit.

"It looks so coooool!" Mimi yelled in enthusiasm. Tivey became even more concerned for his sister's mentality as the others glanced at Mimi strangely.

Looking past the creature showed a panorama of the wasteland with many more similar human-like figures dotted across the vast desert.

SHINIGAMI REALM

"Shinigami realm?" The cast shivered as the title caught their attention, "Is this where Subaru comes from?"

"No I suppose." Beatrice sighed in relief as she knew this is not it. "Subaru has said many times before that he comes from a island country in the east called Japan."

"That's true." Ram continued, "Barusu has said that many times before. All of us in this Emilia camp has heard this"

The cast belonging to the Emilia camp nodded earnestly, relieving many people who where in their seats.

"Then why are we being shown this!?"

"It is important that we stay patient and see it as it is. There is significance in whatever we watch" Julius was writing down everything speedily, satisfying Anastasia but dropping his elegant handwriting.

A human-like figure was hugging its knees and then the focus shifted to another one scratching its back with a scythe.

"Really? Another pair of sleeping skulls?" One said, squatting opposite to another with a large bowl in between.

"That means I win! There's no hard feelings, right?" A timid voice came out of the other one.

"Hey, Ryuk. How about you join us? You should have some fun once in a while." They offered, the name being referred to the first creature who was sitting on the mountain ledge.

"No, I'll pass" Ryuk responded, its dead eyes never shed a single movement. The screen faded to black.

"So the first thing we saw is called Ryuk?" Crusch assessed, her hand on her chin.
