[In the park today, a sleeping puppy in his lap, Light looks peaceful, hair lifted by a light breeze. He's out here to get away from everything going on at the house, and the peace and quiet has let him think. The sunshine coming in through the leafy canopy that shades him casts his face in mottled light and shadow, and makes his vermillion shirt ( Read more... )

[well.]

The idea has always appealed to me. Names carry baggage. It's difficult to move forward when one becomes a burden. [all of this said calmly, placid]

Do you think your name carries much baggage? Ishida is a samurai clan name, isn't it?

He was taken to Edo and executed, and his father and brother committed seppuku rather than become prisoners.

Before Kira, it was.

And now?

Now my interest no longer lies in following old laws, set down years ago, but in changing them to suit the modern need.

[video] sequincy July 20 2010, 02:53:34 UTC

I'll be interested to see how you accomplish that. Do you have a strategy?

[video] killswithapen July 20 2010, 12:05:36 UTC

I'm working on one, as it is.
