036. Video - Yagami Light Mark II

[Those who are close to Light may recognise the differences: a younger face, a softer eye, even if with five years and a lot of guilt lifted from him, very little has intrensically changed. The haircut is still the same, the voice identical. Caution has guided his arrival here, because since arriving early this morning he's been locked away in a

[Dryly:]

Oh, good God.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

You've worked for the police here, if you do not recall. They'll have proof positive that you were the same individual who worked for them and, therefore, the same individual who was here.

[killswithapen]

Then let them test me. It wasn't me. I wouldn't--

...

All those people, there's no excuse for that. I'd remember.

[voice] 3/3

[killswithapen]

And I'd remember being here. This is some kind of trick, it has to be. In which case if you're telling me about fingerprints, that must be a part of it.

It isn't going to work, because there's nothing to get out of me. I'm not Kira.

[An irritable sigh.]

What is the year, as per your recollection?

[voice]

[killswithapen]

Autumn 2004. October 28th...well, I guess that was last night. It would make yesterday Thursday, by the way, not today.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

I suppose you do seem rather younger.

[voice]

[killswithapen]

What's that supposed to mean, 'younger'?

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

Younger. Of a less advanced age. Shall I write it down for you, or merely speak louder?

[voice]

[killswithapen]

No, it means exactly what I want it to mean. First of all I'm expected to believe I was just sucked here into some alternative dimension - not possible, by the way - and now that people can get younger. Get real. This is looking impossible enough already without trying to pull something like that.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

Believe me or do not, Yagami. It's an established phenomenon that people can be pulled here from different points in their lives, from different times; you'll discover that soon enough, and will indeed discover the truth of it if you but listen to back recordings on the NV. As such, I'll not waste my time trying to convince you, since I honestly do not care about your belief or lack thereof.

[voice]

[killswithapen]

I...

Sorry, it's...

[So harsh, Edgeworth.]

If I believe that, then I have to believe that I did those things. That I turned into that. I can't accept that.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

By what you have told me in the past, and by the date you have given me, I believe that you already have. Sloppy, Yagami.

[voice]

[killswithapen]

[His voice is shaky.]

Like I said, I think I'd know if I'd killed all those people. I was watched for months, my house was put under surveillance, and I've been personally supervised by the best detective in the world. I think someone would have noticed if I was off murdering people. I think I'd have noticed.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

You are a superb liar.
