[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... )

Do what you want.

Hmph. You're fascinating, I'll grant you as much. [It's like watching a car crash -- you just can't look away.] Can't help but wonder what you'd do if I gave you what you wanted, provided that I could.

What I'd do if you gave me what I wanted? I never asked for you to love me in return, only for acknowledgement, so what you'd get, I suppose, is grounded trust and affection. Reciprocation is like a drug, Jack--I should know, I've used it on enough people, given them just enough to keep them sweet. You get back what you put in.

But you... You'd rather have my hatred. You'd rather have the danger of an enemy, and the enjoyment of keeping him chained--the thrill of knowing what might happen if he fights long enough to break your hold over him. I don't get it.

[Good thing this is just voice, because he's starting smirk a little. What Light says is true, of course, but like hell he would admit that - he has a hard time admitting it to himself, that he can be sadist as much as masochist, and that he'd rather nurture an enemy than an ally. He'd do the very same thing with his clones, who are supposed to be his equals.

'Are you sure you don't?']

So you acknowledge that you are just human after all.

That's...what I'm saying, yes. My weakness is wanting to earn recognition from you. It's futile, because even if I work out what you want, it's not going to generate what you want from me. Maybe it would be better if I tried to kill you in your sleep instead--or at least threatened to.

[he's laughing]

Your whole approach is wrong, Light. If you are human, then act like one: don't overanalyze the situation. Do what you feel is right.

...

What do you mean 'do what you feel is right'?

So much whining on your end how you've changed and you still haven't figured that one out.

It isn't like that, I just have no experience.

Damn right you don't. Then it's time for you to collect some. Failure is a part of that.

I'm supposed to make mistakes?

Of course.

[A long pause. Quiet.]

And apologise when I do, right?

voice / private heavendivided July 19 2010, 15:52:59 UTC
That's the idea.

Then...I'm sorry about your friend Kazuhira, and speaking about him the way I did--I was jealous.
