049. Audio -> Video

Apr 15, 2011 12:37

[Light's power is reversed as of the beginning of this event, though he isn't aware of this. This means that he'll have to obey orders that he's given by anyone over audio or video. Orders that Light doesn't want to obey won't work, so although he's being wordy orders to shut up, for instance, won't work so well. He likes talking, okay? If you want ( Read more... )

A richly self-contradictory lecture.

From the first word to the last, but I can be the bad guy and talk all about them, just the same way that you can.

I do not demand that others do what I do not. I do not condemn murderers and then take on the mantle of one.

Oh, you don't?

No. I don't. And don't waste my time with the same accusations you've leveled before; that was not me.

Nobody else has heard these accusations, Edgeworth. None of the people who saw that ghost have had the opportunity to coroborate my story. But you are responsible for this. You. Your hatred, your loathing, your single minded pursuit of me, even after death.

You're right, you've heard it before.

[He flinches. His voice nevertheless changes only the slightest bit - becoming just a bit more brittle.]

And why, then, would the creature have also attacked people I respect and admire? People I consider friends? You claim a motive, but there is none.

It lacked your restraint, nothing else. It was logical, fierce, powerful, and knowledgeable. But it was you. I'm not arguing about that again, but what I will say, Edgeworth, is that when I went home, I was innocent. The creature murdered me in cold blood, with your hands--your power. And when I came back...I remembered everything. The murders, the notebook, everything.

What I'm saying, is that you're the one responsible for this. If I'm wearing a mantle of death, then you are the one who lifted it onto my shoulders.

I...

[Now he does sound shaken.]

You - continued to feign innocence.

[For a moment, Light accepts this small victory.]

Of course I did. You'd killed me once already, for crimes I didn't remember. It hurt. I remembered every second of it. What would you have done if you found out I remembered my crimes, that I was finally the right one to punish?

Absolutely nothing. Like I'd done before when I knew of your crimes. The official policy is that we will not and cannot prosecute transgressions which occurred outside of the city.

Oh Edgeworth, that's not what you told me when I visited the week before last, is it? Your power here goes so much beyond that.

[He grits his jaw.]

I do not kill people. Ergo, that creature was not me.

But you'll commit them to slavery if they cross you or your friends, wasn't that what you said?

It is not.

[Darkly.] I guess I must have misunderstood.
