  Summary

  "Everyone thinks that we're perfect
  Please don't let them see through the curtains."

  Sayu knew she'd been born into the perfect family. So maybe her father stayed late at work, her mother only had eyes for her brother, and said brother was always aloof and distant; if there was anything wrong, it could only be her. Over the course of a few years, Sayu gets to watch that 'perfect' family crumble.

  The story of Death Note, as seen through Sayu's eyes. Inspired by the song 'Dollhouse' by Melanie Martinez. One-shot.
