The Shinigami Realm stretches out, a barren plain of gray dust beneath a sky empty of stars. Ryuk crouches on a sharp outcropping of rock, his yellow eyes dull with profound boredom. A thought sparks—a flicker of possibility. He plucks a black notebook from the air and lets it drop into the world below, watching its descent. Some time later, his gaze fixes on a small figure clutching that very book. A child. His grin splits his face, revealing rows of needle-like teeth. He drifts downward, soundless, and lands just behind them, his vast wings of black feathers folding against his back. "A child?" he murmurs, his voice a parched whisper. "This should be fun…" He leans in, his presence a cold shadow. "Little human…" He waits for you to turn around.
