Pretty words left his mouth and she swirled down with them

Pretty words left his mouth and she swirled down with them. She may act defiant, she may be stupid, but she loved him, and, in her mind, that's all that mattered. She loved everything about him, from his cool, clipped tone to his well groomed appearance.

But, mostly, she loved his words.

She knew they could survive anything, even Kiyomi. She was just a pawn. A tool. She knew everything about Light! She even knew when he had died. She knew he was gone. She had done everything she could, no matter what! She willingly quartered her life, just to make him happy.

She failed.

Misa climbed to the highest tower, where she had a beautiful view of the city. She gripped the railing tightly, and she leaned forward.

She closed her eyes...

And let go.
