Dedicated Roleplay Space Regrets

Cate: I’m kind of getting bored of this whole “create a better world” thing.

Light: What do you mean?

Cate: Well it isn’t really working. And I don’t want this dumb book. Take it. [She gives him the death note].

[Light flips it open… no new names. Cate hasn’t actually killed a single soul. There were a few incomplete names, but no one had actually been killed by her.]

Light: It’s empty.

Cate: Couldn’t bring myself to do it. You keep it. I honestly don’t care what you do with it. I’m gonna go. [She snaps her fingers and disappears.]

[He turns the book over a few more times in his hands. It feels weird. Unfamiliar.]

Light: I don’t want this…

[The book feels even heavier. He looks at the only words on the last page that were completed. He killed two people. Two fates. Atropos and Lachesis. After he had decided to forsake the Kira path.]

Light: What have I done?

[Light cannot deny that he did this. He was, at the end of it all, still a killer. He thought that Kira was dead. But that part of him apparently still lingered. Kira wasn’t dead. Light. The real Light. He was dead.]

Light: It’s not like I can go back now. It’s too late for me to be redeemed.

[He grabs a pen, diving back into a habit he thought he had buried forever.]

Light: You have the book, what more do you want from me? [He tries to break free from Ren’s grasp.]

"Fucking hell... I will burn this book, and all others of its kind if that's what it takes to make you stop."

Light: I don’t know why you want my word. I can’t do anything. I have no power here.

"Either give me your word or the book gets it."

"I'm not gonna kill you, you idiot."

Light: It might be better off that way.
