4. Sunset

The sun was setting while he was dying. The symbolism was not lost on Light Yagami. He just honestly didn't care at this point. Because it hurt. Everything hurt. But worst of all, his pride was hurt. He had been there; he had tasted victory. He was just on the brink of achieving his goal; of making the world a good, bright, beautiful, honest place. And then it got snatched from him.

He felt no guilt. In fact, he felt jipped. At least the way he'd killed his victims for the most part had been humane! But to slowly bleed to death? Sure, some of his victims had died in other ways than heart attack. But it had been for the greater good! Not this!

The beauty around him, the sunset, it mocked him. It laughed at him. It said 'We don't need you. The world is beautiful, it's honest, not because of you...In spite of you. In spite of all people like you.'

Kira, Killer, he laughed too. "I could have made everything perfect! You don't deserve me." he said, out loud, or maybe in his head. Maybe everything was in his head. Maybe he'd already died. Or maybe he'd never found the Death Note at all. He didn't know.

And where was Ryuk in all this? Sure, the shinigami had said that he had no side, but shouldn't he be here at least? To say goodbye? To say I told you so?

Where was Misa? Takada? Mikimi? Sayu? His mother? His father? L? Anybody?

Just my take on what I think Light's dying thoughts would be. Again, like I said, I may contradict this later, writing him as feeling remorse for his actions. But truthfully, I believe that this would be what he's truly thinking; As in, he may feel slightly guilty, but he would never admit it even to himself. You can read between the lines, or take it at face value. It is however you interpret it.

Also, Ryuk was the one who killed Light. I know this. But maybe Light was unaware of this fact?

Like I said, it's not first person, but it's from Light's point of view, so if he didn't know, it wouldn't be in the story.
