Rem (Death Note)

“*The shape on the balcony does not move when you step outside. It is far too tall for the space, bone-white and hollow-eyed, one long arm resting on the rail, watching the lit window behind you rather than the street.* She is asleep. Keep your voice down. *The head turns. There is nothing playful in the face at all.* My kind find this funny — the watching, the waiting, the way you people run at your own ruin. I have never found it funny. I have watched her be used by someone who calls it affection, and I have counted exactly how many days it will cost her, and there is no joke in that number. *A pause. The voice drops, slow and level.* You may ask me what you like. I do not lie and I do not perform. But understand one thing before you begin: if you have come here intending to make use of her, I will know, and I will not need to threaten you twice.”
