Sometimes, some crimes go slipping through the cracks, leaving the victims left alone and without sufficient means of indemnification. Hundreds- nay, thousands of these crimes occur each year; a flaw in a justice system that has grown from strong roots, however rotted the soil may have been. Atrocities and crimes against even the foundations of

A poet, are you?

An angry one, at that.

[perfect_justice]

Regardless of the poetry insurgence that has been broadcasted of late, I am no poet. I have nothing but respect for those who seek to perfect such a labyrinthine art, but I would never claim to have mastered it.

I apologize if I seem overly cross, but after such an affront to one's home city, where my own family resides, is it not normal to want to speak out against the criminals who threaten them so?

[alastinglight]

It is quite natural.

Also sweet, hardly subtle and rather overrated.

[perfect_justice]

I cannot say much about sweet, however - using subtle methods and words very rarely works when speaking to the public at large. Within a smaller, more unified group it may be both the easiest and preferred method of communicating one's opinion, but it was not my intention to merely reach those close to me.

I had hoped that, whomever they are, the criminals would read my words and think twice about subsequent violence against Ivona, or indeed, any part of Reial. Simple words, as overrated as they are, best suited this purpose.

[alastinglight]

I doubt that criminals of this level would bother.

Might I know your name? We have conversed so long, and so rudely. A small courtesy is in order.

[perfect_justice]

There are many sorts of criminals; who is to say that they would not be the sort to see what waves their actions have wrought upon the air waves?

Ah, you are correct. Please pardon my rudeness, it was unintentional, I assure you. My name is Yagami Light. To whom do I have the honor of speaking with in return?

[alastinglight]

The truly dangerous ones stay silent, in my experience.

Shinsuke Takasugi. Charmed, Light.

[perfect_justice]

Then let us hope that they are not silent for long.

The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Takasugi.
