The chilly air nipped at my cheeks as I hastily pulled open the large wooden doors. I've had enough of Wammy's, it was time to go out on my own. The main reason I stayed was for Lilly. So many things flashed through my mind, my past here, my friends, and importantly my legacy. I'm meant to take over the responsibility of being L as soon as he gave up the role. Lilly always wanted the best for me but honestly, I don't think the best place for me is here anymore.
As haste and pain clouded my thoughts I vaguely registered the way the snow fell perfectly on to the orphanage that I called home for the last fourteen years. It's hardly changed at all since I first time I saw this place. Actually it looks exactly the same.
Even though life here has been amazing, I can't shake the feeling that I don't belong here anymore. It may have been my choice to leave, but I think everyone - on some level - knew that this would happen.
So many things are about to change for me, and I couldn't be more relieved.
