It's Christmas Eve and Mello (from Death Note) plans to commit suicide, until Gelus, a god of death sent from the shinigami realm, appears to show Mello what the world would be like without him.
It was Christmas Eve in Wammy's House, England, an orphanage/institute for gifted children. The children were all at their Christmas party, except for one boy who had left early to go back to his room. Everyone was ignoring him as usual anyway, so there was no reason for him to stay.
He had different plans for that night.
His name was Mihael Keehl but he went by the alias Mello. All of the children here had to keep their real names secret as they were in training to be successor to L, the world's greatest detective (L was also an alias, obviously) Mello was eternally number two in the rankings, after Near. He hated this, it made him feel so inferior. He was always angry at the world and all the other children avoided him, except the ones brave enough to risk his wrath and make fun of him, usually about his feminine appearance. He liked how he looked so he didn't know why he got mocked about it, just that it made him feel bad.
He was just a child under a tonne of pressure, alone with no family or friends, who never felt good enough or wanted. He couldn't do it anymore, he was always so emotional and his emotions lately had all been negative. It was Christmas Eve, a time for "joy" and so he'd do what he was sure would make him happy.
He was going to leave this world.
