DJ: My first story for Death Note and I'm already quite nervous about how you guys will feel about this one. It's pre-Kira timeline, so I will have a lot of black holes to fill in. Wish me luck! (Btw: L is a main character, but will not appear for some time.)

Disclaimer Guy: DJ doesn't own any rights on Death Note. She only owns Rei and Alice.


Prologue

Hello human,

I'm the shinigami Rei and I think you just found my diary. Yes, a shinigami can keep a diary too. What's so weird about that? Once I was a human like you…

But this diary holds a special story inside of it, that I still read frequently, and I was kind of hoping that you would like to read it too. Yes? Then already turn the page…

Wait! I still have to tell you what the story is about!

This story involves two humans I was always very fond of: my dear Alice and the boy that saved her life so many times. Well, he's not a boy anymore and my Alice has grown a lot too, but you'll hear that part another time.

This story started more than a two decades ago…


DJ: Don't kill me for the awful short prologue, please! I had to give you an idea about the actual storyteller. (Rei doesn't appear in the Death Note series, so she's mine.)
