[Light's voice sounds unsteady, more than a little dark; frustrated, angry and hurt. He's just spent the weekend with Near and Mello and they have something that belongs to him.]

Give. It. Back.

[Anxiety and fear, not given even the tiniest hint of compassion, the city and his own past and future are all coming together to get to him in a bad way.

Yagami-san, what's wrong?

[Hesitation, and his reply comes almost half a minute later.]

It's nothing, don't worry about it. I just lost something.

Someone took it from you?

voice;

[killswithapen]

That's right. I shouldn't even have to ask for it back in the first place.

Who took it? Can you report that it's been stolen?

voice;

[killswithapen]

I don't think I could, no, besides it won't end up with it being returned to me if that were the case.

[That makes things complicated. Brb, reading the rest of this post for a moment.]

...I see.

[killswithapen]

Sorry, I can't really explain it either. Just...it's dangerous. Much worse than a gun.

[foretells]

It's okay, I understand. It's private but really important to you.

voice;

[killswithapen]

[A sigh.] That's not it either. It's just... I can't trust myself either, but I trust them even less.

I guess none of this is making much sense.

voice;

[foretells]

You can't trust yourself with it? [More dangerous than a gun...]

Mm, I get it a little.

voice;

[killswithapen]

No, I really can't. If I'd known I had it I'd have destroyed it.

...I think.
