Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber doorā
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber doorā
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
āThough thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,ā I said, āart sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shoreā
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Nightās Plutonian shore!ā
Quoth the Raven āNevermore.ā
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaningālittle relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber doorā
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as āNevermore.ā
But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he utteredānot a feather then he flutteredā
Till I scarcely more than muttered āOther friends have flown beforeā
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.ā
Then the bird said āNevermore.ā
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
āDoubtless,ā said I, āwhat it utters is its only stock and store
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden boreā
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of āNeverānevermore.āā
But the Raven still beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yoreā
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking āNevermore.ā
āProphet!ā said I, āthing of evil!āprophet still, if bird or devil!ā
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchantedā
On this home by Horror hauntedātell me truly, I imploreā
Is thereāis there balm in Gilead?ātell meātell me, I implore!ā
Quoth the Raven āNevermore.ā
āBe that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!ā I shrieked, upstartingā
āGet thee back into the tempest and the Nightās Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!āquit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!ā
Quoth the Raven āNevermore.ā
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demonās that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light oāer him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be liftedānevermore!

My name is Yoshikage Kira. Iām 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I donāt smoke, but I occasionally drink. Iām in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. Iām trying to explain that Iām a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldnāt lose to anyone.
