Watch Her Fall (a Death Note drabble)
A (slightly belated) Valentine's story. Oh, poor Misa.
Watch Her Fall
There is no justice.
It’s not just losing Light. It’s losing everything she had to hold on to - Light’s gone, and then Kira’s gone, faith’s gone, nothing’s left.
Nobody’s punishing wrongdoers any more, and Misa watches as the petty crimes stack up. She feels like she’s walking on water; like she’s at the edge of a cliff and any moment now she’ll fall. She cuts out the articles, like she can remember the name of every victim unavenged.
The world’s not fair, and there’s no arm strong enough to stop her falling. Not since Light.
