Full Summary:Light dies and finds himself in what he believes to be his mind's projection of a very twisted version of M.U, in a world he would never have thought possible... where the world knows very well who Kira is; where the dead and gone are alive and well, ready to show him their gratitude for ending their lives; where paperwork still lingers to haunt you and the great adventure that is Death ends with a sending up the River and begins with a cruise in pyjamas. Meanwhile, to the world he left behind, the Truth is largely covered, unknown, and it is his sister who must pick up the pieces.

Chapter I
'Tokyoite'

-Canto I-
TODAY WE WELCOME
YOU BUT YOU CANNOT COME IN.
COME BACK TOMORROW.
About the Chapter Title: As a 'New Yorker' inhabits New York, and a 'Londoner' inhabits London, a Tokyoite is an inhabitant of Tokyo. This is undoubtedly a reference to Dante Aligheri, the infamous Florentine himself.
Author Note: Thank you for deciding to read this. Every chapter from now on will include a note about its creation and its production. Here's the note today:
I recognise your disappointment. Please recognise that I am a busy person who lives in three people's lives, and the fact that being unable to give you anything for over a year has been a source of stress and self-loathing. I am not sorry. The next update will likely be of chapter 2 before it is of chapter 1. Meanwhile, enjoy a haiku.
Thank you, and please R&R
