"you know me too well," his tone was dry of humor, "i dropped another death note."
"surely you know where,"
"oh, yes. i know where. . ."

the mid-evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. as with any prep-school, the courtyard was desolate while the current classes rolled on- about fifteen minutes until the last bell, a small movement slid through the courtyard. a flicker of black. it landed flat on the grass a ways off from the yard's paths, face up. half of the book- (which's title was illegible from this far) was lit with the glimmering sunlight, making the matte black cover pop. the other half melded with the courtyard's long shadows.
a notebook.
a simple, random notebook.
