Page Thirteen || Month of my life [Video]

[When Light wakes up this morning, he feels, for once, well rested. Stretching as he rolls out of bed, he grabs his phone to check the time. However, it's not the time that alarms him, it's the date. The thirtieth of May? He rubs his eyes furiously, suddenly very awake. Had he really spent a month sleeping? He had heard of people falling asleep for a week at the Manor, but surely not an entire month. He certainly didn't feel any differently- his hair for one, didn't seem to have grown any longer, nor had his fingernails for that matter. Bolting up right, he quickly gets himself dressed. A few minutes later, the feed clicks on to show Light Yagami looking somewhat bemused.]

I don't suppose someone might be willing to fill me in on what happened? I...[He clears his throat.] seem to have been knocked unconscious for an extended period of time. Thank you.

[Expanded? Well that was certainly a pleasant change. A break from the claustrophobic effect that the Manor had occasionally. Add in the fact that this is the Author they're talking about, and Light is significantly less enthused, but Oz's smile is returned.]

Ah, really? Have you seen for yourself?

I have. There's a beach, a desert and apparently a store and cave as well.

It seems interesting, as it means more to do now.

More open space at least creates the illusion of freedom, yes, but the status quo hasn't changed. Besides, it's the Author; it's never that simple with her. More to do for us, also means more to do for her... which is never a good thing.

True, it never is, but I've learnt to accept what's been given. We don't know if we'll ever get out, or if people we know will come here. So why not just live through it for the moment.

[ Acceptance. Therein lies the problem. Light can't. Accepting this would mean giving up on a plan that finally had eliminated from it every obstacle to success. Consciously, it's not possible. Acceptance is far too similar to defeat, and losing to a stupid teenage girl is never an option.Never. On the other hand, even Light has to admit it's beginning to feel futile. The environment is much too unstable to plan with certainty. ]

[ Sigh. ] Perhaps you're right. I suppose I am over-thinking this. A dash of optimism is probably the best way to handle everything here. [ A brighter smile as he changes the subject. ] So, do you have any idea what they're selling in the store?
