Work Text:
Light,
Thanks for your help with my homework yesterday! I packed a bento with all of your favorites. I hope the egg isn’t too burnt XP
With love!
Sayu
Light,
I know I don’t need to wish you luck on the entrance exam, but I just wanted to say, nail it, big bro!
Love,
Sayu
Hey Light!
When will you introduce me to your new girlfriend? I can’t believe you’re dating Misa Misa! I bet I have so much in common with her! We should all totally hang out!
Also, Mom says even though she’s an idol don’t stay out too late.
Sayu
Light,
I knew if anyone could become the world’s youngest detective, it’d be you! Here’s some clothes for you and dad while you’re staying at the investigation headquarters and I snuck in an apple since you’ve been eating so many of them (call it sister’s intuition ;P).
I hope you both come home soon. Even though you always locked yourself in your room, it’s quiet here without you, and mom’s making me do all your chores.
Love,
Sayu
Light,
You must be working on something pretty important if you can’t even come home when dad does. I’m sure you’ll crack the case in no time, and then we can have a big celebratory dinner, like we did when you aced the exam!
I probably shouldn’t be distracting you from your work, but I can tell mom and dad are really worried even though they both tried to hide it. I don’t watch the news and even I know this Kira guy is scary, though you’d think he’d be making dad’s job easier.
Just stay safe.
Love,
Sayu
Dear Light,
Happy birthday! Mom made your favorite chocolate cake and I even helped with the frosting!
I wish you could have come home to celebrate. Dinner was especially quiet last night. I feel like I barely see you or dad anymore. But birthdays are times for looking forward!
I’m sure you’re the best detective there is, and if anyone can catch Kira, it’s you! And don’t forget even ace detectives deserve a break on their birthday!
Love,
Sayu
Dear Light,
I don’t know if you’ll even read this. Even when you’re home, you and dad barely say anything. I know the work you’re doing is important, but it’s like it’s eating you up. Is it even possible to catch Kira? People say he’s not even human. And he’s just killing criminals; is it really that bad?
Doofus, I just want my big brother back!
Love,
Sayu
Light,
I don’t know what’s going on. It’s cold and dark and there are big men with guns everywhere. What could they want from me? Are they working for Kira?
I’m not a bad person! I don’t want to die!
Please, Light, save me!
Sayu
Light,
How could you? You were supposed to save me! How could you let dad do it on his own? You were supposed to be the smart one! Stopping Kira can’t be worth this, can it? What will we do if you die too?
Please just come home!
Sayu
Light,
It can’t be true, can it? You were fighting Kira! It’s thanks to him that you can’t even defend yourself now! There’s no way you could be the one who killed dad, who killed all those people! How could you leave mom and I to deal with all of this alone?
Sayu
Dear Light,
I turned 24 today. I guess I’m not your little sister anymore. Now, I’m older than you’ll ever be. I wonder sometimes what it’s like where you are. If you’re watching over mom and me.
Maybe I should hate you. I know you’re the reason dad died - that you killed him. Everyone knows it. I can see it in strangers’ eyes whenever I go out. I don’t go out much these days. But no matter how hard I try, I still just remember you as the cheerful big brother who helped me with my homework.
It can’t have all been a lie, can it? You were just trying to keep us safe, like dad, right? But even now, people are still scared of you. They think you couldn’t possibly be dead, that you’re just biding your time until you deem it fit to return. They really see you as a god. Not like how I used to follow you around when we were kids, but a real god. It would be funny if so many people weren’t dead.
I know I was just a silly kid, but I wish you could’ve talked to me like how I wanted to tell you everything about my life. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you, maybe then you wouldn’t have felt like you had to do everything.
Love you always,
Sayu
