[This time, Light doesn't use a single bit of his ability, but well -- nobody who expects him to be using it will even notice, because it would have no effect on them anyway.]
I spoke to you all a long time ago about the Kira case; this murderer that has jumped from my world to this one. That's all he is -- a murderer. Kira, for those of you who don't know, has killed more than ten thousand people in my world. He hunts down criminals that he thinks deserve to die and 'punishes' them. To him it's justice, but you all know better than that. Or I hope you do.
I implore you, all of you -- please don't do as Kira says. He's losing touch, falling apart. Clearly he's lost all of his power, and this threat to 'lead' us is empty. If he could do anything he'd have killed me already.
You hear that, Kira? Kill me. Oh, that's right. You don't have my name, do you?
[A brief pause. Light is smiling, but it's inaudible in his voice.]
Don't follow him. Murder is murder, and getting behind his cause will make you no less of a murderer than Kira himself. Don't think I won't catch you. And as for Kira... It's only a matter of time until he's stopped too.
[There is clicking, and beeps, as though Light is tampering with the device to set up a private feed. It fails, because the next bit is audible, and the fact that it is is absolutely intentional. He wants everyone to hear this, specifically because he wants to know who, if anyone, is following him.]
Jack -- how do you fancy another look around that AGI place in sector nine? Bridget's? I'm available midweek, and I've got nothing else planned.
[This last bit, to Nagi Naoe, is posted from his second NV.]
It seems odd that you would deliberately filter a video like that away from me. Did you think I would miss it? What concerns me, then, is whether you hid it to avoid retribution from the police, or for some other reason.
Killing innocent people, no matter the reason, is criminal behaviour. No matter the power you weild, you must learn to use it wisely, and making an enemy of everyone surely isn't the way to go about it.
What made you do it? Surely you had a good reason -- or something you thought to be, at the time?
