Despair

Every story has to end somewhere, Light thought as the task force pulled out their guns and aimed them at Light and his lover. They were angry and betrayed, and Light was so very weary…

A shot rang out, and Beyond's body fell limp in Light's arms.

Disbelief.

Agony.

What did Beyond have to do with any of this? Nothing, Light asserted in his mind.

Nothing. Innocent. Innocent. (Though Beyond was surely anything but.)

Agony.

Light bent over the crumpled body of Beyond Birthday (his lover, his angel) and wept.

A second shot rang out, and Yagami Light collapsed, falling grotesquely over his lover, blood trickling from his mouth.

Agony.
