It's been ten years since I've watched Death Note so I decided to watch it again recently. The ending was just as heartbreaking to experience as the first time around and it left me with an unpleasant feeling. I didn't want to believe that Light simply ceased to exist or was left floating around in nothingness.
Upon finding extra content and interesting theories about the series I came across a popular theory that I grew very fond of which is an alternative ending that matched my expectations. This ending was everything I wanted to receive from the series. I was extremely excited about this newly found story point that I wanted to make a project out of it.
