Title: Truths
Fandom: Death Note
Characters: B
Rating: A very tame PG
Word Count: 100
Notes: Spoilers for Another Note. D: Also, done for my ficlets100 prompt table - #59, "True."
Suggested Soundtrack: Blonde Redhead (with David Sylvian) - Messenger [lyrics]
B unscrews the cap on the gasoline can and remembers how his research on self-immolation led to a tangent on Buddhism and the Four Noble Truths: This is the noble truth of suffering, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering; this is the noble truth of the origin of suffering; this is noble truth of the cessation of suffering ...
There’s another part to it, of course, but B didn’t make a point to remember it - B isn’t a Buddhist, or a backup plan, or anyone’s child. B is nothing.
He can already taste the ashes in his mouth.
