It's been a week since that shadow appeared. I was brought back to HQ, and SAI checked the memory of what happened. He downloaded it onto a device that he requested that he hack to avoid Any Triggers. But the thing inside me... It's words still rang inside my head. I barely spoke a word since then.

Light was Tasked with Keeping a Eye on me. We'd play some games, have some food, and reminiscing on our adventures. He'll hug me Close at times. But I don't deserve it. The thing inside me has been keeping the rift opened, I've been Keeping the Rift opened. I don't want anyone to be killed because of me.

Light: Hey... You want to play some games?

I don't want any of them to Die

Me: Light... Thank you...

Light: Huh?

Me: Thank you for taking me in, and keeping me happy. But...

I then got up from the bed and walked up to the window that overlooks the city.

Me: I think... It's time for me to go.

Light then gets up fast.

Light: Myles--

I couldn't contain it any longer, and I turned around to Light and snapped at him.

Me: It's Right, You Know!

There was a silence between us as light stared at me, until I broke it.

Me: I killed them... Mom Died because of my birthday... Dad was Killed because He covered for me.

Tears started to well up in my eyes and stream down my face.

Me: I don't want to get you all Killed too.

Light just slowly walks towards me with his arms held out.

Light: Myles...

Myles: the Infection inside of me is what's keeping the rift Accessible! I'm Only Putting everyone in Danger by remaining here... But if my death...

I then taped one finger on my bracelet, printed out a pistol, And Aimed it at my head.

Me: Can save you all, I'm ready

Light's face twisted in fear, it hurts to be doing this... But I don't want him to die, Nor anyone else.

Light: Myles, What're you doing?!

Me: Saving your lives

Light: Stop this! Right now! You don't need to do this--

Me: BUT I DO!!!

Light: !

. . . . .

Me: I would love nothing more than to fulfill that promise with you, I really do. But as long as this Thing is inside of me... I'm only going to get you all Killed down the Line. But this way... This can save all of you.

I then looked at Light in the Eyes, and I could only see fear in them as tears started to form.

Light: Myles... Listen to me. You Don't need to do this, We'll figure this out together and make it out of this. All of us.

Me: But this is guaranteed to save Everyone, Including You!

Light: NO IT WON'T!

For the first time, Light snapped at me. His eyes enraged. Now that I think about it, this is probably our first quarrel between us.

Light: You'll Die! You think this'll Save Anyone?! It Won't Save You!

I don't want to do this to them, but it needs to be done.

Light's face then softens as he continues to look at me, And opens his arms to me.

Light: Please... Put it down, And come here.

A part of me wants to put the gun down, and rushed to embrace him. But I don't deserve it. I'll only kill him.

Me: Light... Thank you for taking me in, and falling in love with me. Thank you for All of the fun times we've had... But someone Like me... Shouldn't exist anymore...

We stared at each other in silence. And I smiled weakly and my voice quivered. I could barely contain the pain that I felt.

Me: I'm so sorry for doing this, but at least You'll all get to Live on. Tell everyone that I'm sorry for doing this... Please, Live on in my stead.

Light: no... don't...

Me: I love you all from the bottom of my heart... *Sniff*... Goodbye.

Light: NO!!!

I closed my eyes, and memories of our time together flashes through my mind. I want the fun times to continue. But they can't. I braced myself, and pulled the trigger.

*PEW*

I waited for it, but it didn't come. Instead, something Grabbed my arm and redirected the bullet's Shot. I opened my eyes to find Milo Clutching my Right arm, And Snow clinging to my Left.

When did they...

I Desperately Wiggled My body, Trying desperately to Break Free

Milo: Myles! Please!

Snow: Calm down!

Me: No! Please, Lemme--

*Pssh*

There was a Sharp pinch in the side of my neck, as if I was being injected with something. I looked to find Light Holding a Syringe gun to my neck, in which he injected me with. He simply smiled and kissed me, then I immediately felt my body growing sluggish and sleepy. I lost my balance and fell into Light's arms. As I felt my eyelids grow heavy, I could hear him speak softly in my ear and felt him stroking the back of my head as I drifted off to sleep.

Light: We all feel the same. we love you, so much. But If you kill yourself just to save us, I won't be able to live with it... Sorry Sweetie, But this is for your own good. Please... Just relax.
