I... wow. That was amazing. You write beautifully. I love all the little details you put in, and the description of Light's death scene, and then the way that contrasts with the nihilism of the ending.

Nihilism. :-( One day, I will really try to write something for DN that doesn't involve MASSIVE PITS OF DESPAIR. (Is this possible? I do not know.)

Thank you. :)

Your nihilism echoed the nihilism of the canon ending, does that help? :D It was meant to be a compliment, I promise.

Ah, thank you. I knew that was what you meant (or so I will claim, now) -- I was just lamenting over my ability to write.. happiness?

I know the feeling ^^ but I tell myself DN is not a happy story, really, and this justifies it.
