[Week 5, Day 6] Video - Yagami Light

May 11, 2010 04:07

[When the screen turns on, there's a charming young man sitting in front of the hitomi. His hair is brushed neatly about his eyes, and both are a subtle, warm brown. Beside him are a collection of food items - most notably a freshly baked treacle sponge cake. Besides this treat there's a pitcher, several eggs, apples, a collection of edible nuts ( Read more... )

Light. As usual, you've proven yourself to be an excellent strategist. You would have been a brilliant detective. In fact, I have no doubt that we would have eventually worked together.

[ L's expression softens, as does the tone of his voice. ]

I suppose we already are.

Whether to help with your plan or to make it more comfortable for us here, it doesn't matter. We need these things -- Mello's in pain with his burns, and we'll die without salt. In a slow, nasty way.

And yeah, it's pretty hard to become a great detective when the best of them thinks you're a murdering sociopath. Really puts a crimp in any future employment.

[ L pauses, silent and tilting his head. He stares at Light for a long, slow moment. ]

It isn't like you to express bitterness in regard to my suspicion.

[ Another pause, bloated with tension. ]

If we get out of this and I'm proven incorrect, I will strive to atone for my transgressions.

You know full well I don't want to be involved with any of this. I'm going along with it because you gave me no choice, but I'll do it well because that's what I do. Nothing else.

[He shook his head, slowly.]

If it's this or use the Note myself... I should use it myself. But then if the thirteen day rule's correct, I'll die, and if I don't you have all the proof you think you need to satisfy yourself that I'm Kira. It's a lose lose situation.

Are you so certain that the thirteen day rule is false?

Why would I doubt anything written in a Notebook of Death, Ryuzaki? As far as I'm concerned the whole thing's made up -- or I want it to be. Why shouldn't there be a rule like that?

Don't you find it a little too convenient that a rule exists which exonerates both Kira and the second Kira so specifically?

Define 'A little too convenient'. It's a huge relief, and you should think so too. It means I'm not Kira...so you should be happy for me.

And if you think about it...why not? Thirteen is an 'unlucky' number, right? I don't think the Shinigami would want it to be destroyed, and he'd want it to be used. So even if they are fake rules, that doesn't mean Kira put them there. Maybe the Shinigami would die if it isn't? We just don't know enough about it.

Give it up, Ryuzaki.

You're right. We know too little about the notebook.

Do not affect ignorance to my reasoning behind its testing.

'Testing it'. That's exactly the problem, though. It's clearly supposed to make you want to try it.

But I know I can't make you change your mind.

Mn.

That's exactly why we require a proxy to write the name of the murderer.

It's exactly why you should bury the damn thing and forget about it.

Since we seem to have reached an impasse, further debate will merely prove fruitless.

I do wish you wouldn't sell the cake. As you know, I need the calories to function properly. If I didn't know you better, I'd believe you were doing this on purpose.

Ryuzaki, the oven that we have can cook a number of cakes at once. If I get interest in baked food then I can get something of a business working, and we can trade for all the other things we need, but people need to see the things they miss to want them. Hot food is one of those things.

It's just good business, and in the end it probably means there'll be much more cake around here.

I understand I'm being childish.

If I could, I'd go in and retrieve a piece for myself.

You are being childish. Besides, you can't eat just cake. I'll warm you up some soup if you're hungry.
