Allen opened the door to Lavi's room, surprised that the lights were off. The room was dark except for the bright moonlight peaking through the large window across the room. The window was open, the thin pale curtains fluttering in the calm wind. Allen carefully stepped forward, cautious not to stumble over anything.
"Lavi, can we just talk? You've really been acting strange lately," Allen said as he neared the bed. He had recited this conversation over and over again in his head, thinking of every possible response he may receive from his best friend. He paused as he stood next the bed, his grey eyes widening slightly. "Lavi?"
The bed was completely empty with the exception of the studded black bandanna Lavi was wearing earlier that day. Allen glanced around the small room, his eyes adjusting to the darkness that surrounded him. Everything seemed to be in it's perfect place; nothing was misplaced or missing... except for Lavi. As Allen walked around the bed, he noticed a small white object on the floor, almost glowing in the moonlight. It looked out of place in Lavi's neat, organized room. Allen kneeled down and picked it up. It was a folded piece of paper. Allen took a deep breath as he unfolded it, recognizing Lavi's handwriting. He held the paper up to the moonlight so he could read it.
Dear whoever finds this,
Please forgive me, but I have to leave. I can't say why... no one will understand. Not Allen, Yu, Crow, or even Lenalee. Don't misunderstand, I love being an exorcist, but... I can't stay her any longer. I know it might feel like I'm betraying all of you, especially after everything that has just happened. Please, tell the others to forget about me. Tell them I'm dead. Honestly... I'm as good as dead. Whatever you do, don't try to follow me.
This is goodbye...forever.
-Lavi
