Disclaimer: Death Note is the property of Tsugumi Ohba, Takeshi Obata, Shueisha, VIZ Media, Madman Entertainment, and others I may have missed. I don't have any claim on it. Dear God, I hardly even dare write DN fanfiction; the series is so amazing, and I am so unworthy.

Also, the dialogue idea, though slightly different, came from jill the's Harry Potter fanfiction, "On a Hill at Midnight, In Seventy Words," which I really urge you to read.

"Now."

"You are." Cunning.

"Not only." Fascination.

"Come with me." Cold calculation.

"You mock me." Warm reproof.

"What binds a world?" Eagerly euphoric excesses.

"This has been forbidden." Trusting lost truth.

Doomed it was because perfection could not long survive in an imperfect universe: One had to leave if the other were to stay, or so read the future in stars far away.


A/N: Too obscure? Or completely pointless? Please share your thoughts with me! Thanks for reading!
