Chapter 2
L
I have been in Mu for a while. It is full of humans, and I see many I know. But no one can talk to each other. I have deduced that there is an exception, however. Murderers may speak with their victims, and victims may speak with their murderers. I have witnessed several cases where this has happened, all of which strengthened my theory, turning it into hard fact. I have other theories, unproved, which I cannot prove myself. Since I am not a murderer, I cannot confirm them alone.
This world is a lonely place, but not very different from my living world. My old world and my new one are very similar. No friends, no human contact, and no one knows who I am. My life is as solitary as it was before the Kira case, but now I cannot even contact Watari. The children from the orphanage that I had Watari train are not here, excepting Mello, Matt, and a girl who was scared of monsters named Linda. Previously, she had asked me what I was afraid of. I am afraid of myself, the most terrifying and horrible monster that has ever existed. I look down at my hands, the hands that have put to death many horrible criminals, killed by the most powerful serial killer that will ever exist.
Linda, the innocent, was murdered. She was accused of pickpocketing, and Higuchi killed her when her name was broadcast on television. I learned this when I had Light check the names of the criminals written in the Death Note. She was always kind, and many have told me that she was the only one who attempted to be kind to Nate River, also known as Near. She wanders aimlessly, searching for a way out, always wary for monsters. I believe that she has gone insane.
Linda is insane. Matt has paranoia and an anxiety disorder. Mello is self-righteous and is very narcissistic. Those three children who I had hoped to aid, gone from the above world. Linda was 17. Matt and Mello were older, but too young. I died at 25, watching Kira smile down at me as I breathed my last.
I knew I was right.
