After hearing of L's death, I'd sat in my room in a numb state of shock.
After a while I switched the radio on for a distraction. The song playing was on one that Y/N used to listen to. I looked over at our wedding photo, pride of place in a gold frame on my bedside locker. My eyes blurred with tears. I felt so empty and lonely.
"I wish you could come back, Y/N. L is gone now too. It's too much to bear."
I cried until all my tears dried up.
"Fuck it, we're all born to die anyway."
My heart hurt as I remembered the name of the song, This Is My Beginning. It must be a sign, for me to begin over?
"How can I do this without you? I want it to be my ending too."
I felt something smack into my head.
"What the hell?"
I noticed a black notebook land on the floor, out of nowhere.
"Huuuuh?"
"Hello Mello. My name is Rem, it's nice to meet you."
I turned my head to see a shinigami.
"Oh not another one."
"I need your help and you need mine. Do you remember how this all works?"
"Not really. I think I'm dreaming or I've finally lost it. I should get some sleep." I got under the covers and turned away from this Rem creature.
"Take your time Mihael. But I'll be waiting right here. We need to end this."
"Great, I have to sleep with a freaking shinigami watching me now." I put the pillow over my head. "If this isn't a dream I swear to god..." I removed the pillow so I could breathe.
"Rest well, Mihael Keehl."
"Ugh yeah whatever." I muttered.
