I've been thinking a lot lately about how I got here and why on Earth I'm alive again. Like, didn't Ryuk say there wasn't any way to come back after death? That there's nothing but the emptiness of Mu?
But I'm here clearly. I seem to have been revived in some form. Granted, I have to share a body with a lot of their people, but I'm alive. And I just want to know... Why?
I don't really understand why or how I got here, but my last memory is dying, so it's confusing to me how it works. Sure, I have a job here. Maybe I was needed for that job or something, but why me? Aren't I a terrible person?
Or maybe that's half the point. Maybe I came back to life to have a second chance of sorts, and kind of view my actions from an outside perspective. Maybe the whole point was that I realise what I've done.
If so, I don't really know what I think of that. On the one hand, it's causing me incredible amounts of guilt for something I can't ever fix, but on the other, I feel like I'm a better person now. (However, that doesn't make me wish I'd got the body's father when I was Kira. He's like poison, and I'd like nothing better than to get away from him.)
Anyway. Maybe this will make me a better person. Unlike a certain one letter named detective who prefers to, and I quote, "meme through the pain."
