Mello sits on the couch of the mafia headquarters, chocolate bar in hand that is just an accessory at this point since it’s mostly forgotten about. His mind is racing with thousands of thoughts. Thoughts of Kira and the Kira Case, thoughts of L and his death, thoughts of that albino freak Near who always beats him no matter how hard Mello tries to be the best. And thoughts of the Death Note that’s laying on the table in front of him after kidnapped Sayu Yagami in exchange for the Death Note.

Mello doesn’t understand how it works. Well, he does, but he wants to know the logistics of it all. How could Kira kill so many people…? How could a pen on this notebook destroy so many lives with the thought that Kira could save them all? Kira is nothing but a cold hearted, sadistic bastard that Mello wants to put a stop towards.

“Damnit…” Mello curses under his breath, putting the bar of chocolate down and holding his hands over his blue eyes in defeat. He’s so tired. Just… so tired and angry at the world. Angry at Near. Angry at L for dying by the hands of Kira. And for just… feeling so alone when he is literally the boss of a whole mafia.
