I yawned, the morning light seeping in through the satin curtains. I blinked awake, sitting up and stretching my arms to the sky. I kicked off the covers and moved to leave the bed. I froze before my feet even hit the floor.
There on the floor, was another trail of boot prints leading away from the bed. I took a deep breath and stood. I walked out of the bedroom and sat down next to Lawliet. I thought about telling him about the prints, but thought better of it. I didn't know if I was the only one seeing them, and I didn't want him to think I was insane. I opened up my laptop, but before I could do anything of importance, I hear Lawliet's voice.
"Is something wrong?"
~L's POV~
As Yume sat at the table, I noticed he looked slightly disturbed. Between the current chain of events and the nightmares he'd been having, I didn't want him to think I didn't realize he was having a hard time.
"Is something wrong?" I asked him.
I saw him relax immediately, "Actually, yeah."
~Your POV~
"Actually, yeah." I heard myself say it before I could stop it from happening. "Have you seen them too?"
Lawliet looked at me confused, "Seen what?"
I wasn't sure why, but I lowered my voice to a whisper, "The footprints."
He shook his head, "No, show me."
I stood and took his hand. I lead him to the bedroom and pointed to the trail that was there on the floor. He shook his head again.
"There's nothing there. I think you're so stressed out about this case that you're starting to imagine things. Maybe you should take a break?"
I looked at him and saw that his eyebrows were knotted together into a worried expression. He really was worried about me. I nodded. "Yeah, you're probably right. I think I'm gonna go out to the mall for a while, I'll be back in a couple hours."
I sifted through the closet as Lawliet went back out to his seat at the table. I had to find a nice going out outfit. Even if I was majorly stressed out, I was determined not to look like it in public.

~At the mall~
I wandered the stores, looking at all the people. Everywhere I went, there was nothing interesting. I sat down in the food court and just watched the people.
Everyone seemed perfectly content and happy. I didn't know how they could be, when my best friend was missing. The thought felt selfish, but it was the only thing I could think about. I became angry, not understanding how not one person could even be remotely upset about a missing person.
Then I understood. Misa was just one person. Just one out of 8 billion people. The world could keep turning without her. And that's exactly what it was going to do. The world was just going to keep on going. It was going to move on without her.
(Uh oh i got a little existential again but I feel like anyone would be in this situation)
