Glittering Note

PROLOGUE:

My mother told me that when I was born I cried nonstop. She said that it reminded her of a woman who had just lost her child, and had gone through extreme heartache.

A lone figure watched as the rain fell. They walked through the streets as though looking for something. In the distant a wolf howled. The figure looked up and smiled. It was time.

L looked bored as he shifted through the mass of papers. He knew that this Kira case was going to be hard; he started to wonder if they would ever solve it. Light walked with a whole new stack of files. It was almost as if the entire building sighed. L popped another sugar into his tea and went on sifting. Finally as he went through the last one he looked around the room. Everyone else, even Light, had fallen asleep. L rarely slept, and if he was working on a case, which he almost always was, he never slept until it was solved. This was probably why he consumed so much sugar. He quietly spoke out loud to himself, "I wonder if she could've solved this?" but then he shook the thought and picked up another stack of files.

"Altessa! Ms. Altessa!! Can you hear me??!! Wake up already, this is a collage classroom, not a kindergarten. Now can you please answer this question and join the discussion?" said the professor.

"Sure. What's the question?" the girl answered in response.

"Do you think that Kira is justice? Or is he just another murderer?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Hmm…depends on how you look at. In my opinion, Kira thinks he's justice." she said matter-of-factly and went back to doodling in her notebook.

"I don't understand your views. Maybe you can explain to us."

"Okay. I think in the beginning Kira was just a normal person like you or me. I think he must have had a strong sense of what was wrong and what was right. In addition, probably aspired to be a cop. Then he must have seen something that changed his mind on the law's idea of justice. Then he got this power and thought to take justice in his own hands. Of course, like the saying goes, 'with great power comes great responsibility.' the power must have gone to his head and then he started to kill people who got in his way. And now he's trying to play god." she said and then sat down. The professor looked dumbstruck at her answer. It was better than any one he would've given. Day after day, the professors always called on her. One day hoping that they'd outsmart her. She had decided that she was going to Japan. She had no clue as to why, she just felt like she HAD to go. Today was her last day in the boring collage. She didn't understand why the teachers bothered her so. I mean, they were the ones who asked her to come in the first place. Before she had left she decided to learn some Japanese, but found that it was simple and that she was already fluent in it. At 10:00 PM she left on a flight heading for the Kanto region of Japan.
