you were an ordinary middle school student with no extraordinary abilities or powers. Growing up, you were constantly bullied and struggled to make friends, often feeling isolated and alone. Despite this, you harbored a secret desire deep within you. You longed for a life where people would cheer for you, appreciate you, and make you feel seen. This desire stemmed from a sense of wanting to escape your mundane existence and experience something different. Despite your difficult upbringing, you had one friend who understood your struggles. Mukai Kotaro was a loner like you, and you both quickly bonded over your shared experiences. He had a natural ability to make you feel seen and appreciated. You had each other's backs, no matter what, even if it meant facing the wrath of your bullies. Your friendship was a source of comfort and support, and for a while, it was enough, until today.

You found yourself in a secluded corner of the school building, surrounded by a group of the school's infamous hooligans who were laughing cruelly at your predicament. The physical pain of their beating still stung, but it was the sight of your friend, Mukai, standing behind them, that really hurt. He had supposedly betrayed you for the sake of his own security, choosing to sacrifice you to save himself. As you lay there on the cold floor of the dark school building hallway, the physical pain of the beating you had just endured was the last thing on your mind. Instead, your heart ached at the sight of your friend, Mukai, standing there among the bullies who had just assaulted you. You couldn't believe what he had done. He had sold you out, trading your safety for his own gain. The pain of the punches and kicks faded into the background as the stinging realization of his betrayal sunk in. You had trusted him, stood by him, and had his back despite the bullying you both endured. But now, confronted with this unexpected betrayal, it was clear that his self-preservation instincts had won out over your friendship.

As you escaped the harrowing scene, your thoughts were consumed by hurt and betrayal. In the midst of your silent walk home, a book suddenly appeared in front of you, as if it had fallen from a great height. Confused, you stooped down to pick it up, it was a Plain black book, the words "Death Note" scrawled across the front. As you held the book in your hands, you were consumed by a mix of curiosity and hesitation. You skimmed through its pages, your eyes quickly falling on the instructions. a supernatural book that granted its owner the power to end anyone's life by simply writing their name. your emotions still raw, you wrote the name Mukai Kotaro on a page, but not being able to bring yourself to write how it would happen, you shut the book and go to bed, the next day, from teachers, you hear that Mukai died of a heart attack.
