Light�s fingers stiffen around the cell bars, lips pressed tightly together
but otherwise expressionless.
He remembers that he is Kira.
Did I kill my own�?
�It wasn�t you,� L says as if reading his mind, and Light looks to him
with such panic and desperation that L understands he really is confused.
Burn it, Misa had said, and L sees that the destruction of the notebooks
is somehow related to the change in Light�s motives.
He won�t give up his mission now, but I will force him out if it
saves him.
He isn�t sure how, but he understands she sacrificed herself for Light.
And, in admitting to being Kira and asking to be arrested, Light sacrificed
himself for him.
There is sadness in L�s eyes when he speaks, �you should be with your
family now.�
�Ryuuzaki,� Light�s voice issues forth soft and brittle, �I�m�� he looks
up in astonishment,
��afraid.�
He is shocked and terribly perplexed, having lost control as well, it
seems, as his own mind, and he is terrified at what he might do were he
released.
�Your mother and sister probably want to be with you right now.�
Leaning hard against the bars, Light presses his eyes tightly shut and,
teeth clenched, he cries silently; he truly loved his father. He refuses
to leave the cell.
L knew they took a risk in following the shinigami�s plan. The notebooks
have been destroyed, but at what cost? Have they been too rash? How could
this have been prevented?
�We were all taking a risk,� Light murmurs quietly, �we were all risking
our lives. Still��
L unlocks the cell door and comes inside, sitting down on the mattress.
�What happened�exactly�?� Light asks, turning to face him.
�Sit down, Light-Kun,� L replies, his voice quiet and composed as always.
Light hesitates, but fatigue gives way and he joins L.
�There was a third Kira,� he explains, �and the good news is that we
caught him today.�
�Was?�
�That�s right,� L continues, �he�s dead now.� Then, after a pause, �We
learned a great deal of interesting things.�
He considers telling Light about the shinigami, the notebooks, and how
he believes Light had saved him, but the younger boy is so overwhelmed
that he decides to wait. After all, if Light has truly forgotten the details
of his actions as Kira, perhaps it is best not to tell him things that
might refresh his memory�not just yet.
�A lot of people died today,� L adds quietly.
�Who else has�� Light trails off.
Silence.
�Aizawa�Mogi�� he says almost inaudibly, and then, looking down at Light,
��Misa��
Light�s eyes go big.
�Did you��
L shakes his head slowly. �She took her own life.� For you.
�I don�t understand.�
He is absolutely overwhelmed and falls limp against the stone wall behind
him, thin and exhausted.
�Also,� L adds softly, gazing at Light with amused composure, �you saved
my life.�
Light�s eyes open partway, and he gazes at the other boy tiredly.
�Thank you, Light-Kun.�
Light stares ahead blankly.
What to do now? Light is Kira�or was Kira�and the real source of the
mass murders were the notebooks, which he destroyed. Lives were sacrificed
for this. Light saved L�s life. Now Light, himself, fears his own actions,
and is terrified at the prospect of committing murder unbeknownst to him.
He won�t leave the cell. He won�t talk. He won�t eat. L is oddly fascinated
by the magnitude of the transformation in Light; he is decidedly different.
�Light-Kun,� L says to him several days later from outside the bars,
�please try to eat something.�
That morning he discovered in Light�s cell the tray from the evening
before, cold and untouched. It isn�t a deliberate attempt at starvation
� rather, he is still in shock, perhaps more so at himself really being
Kira than about Mr. Yagami�s death.
�You have to drink,� L explains as he walks into the cell carrying only
a glass of water, �please don�t make us hook you up to an IV.�
Light takes the glass and stares at it intently for a few moments before
raising it to his mouth. He drinks slowly and presses the glass to his
lips for a long time, deep in thought.
�Thank you,� L says with what sounds almost like relief.
�Do you think you can stand up okay?� he continues, and when Light doesn�t
reply, L takes his hand and begins to help him up slowly.
�Come on,� he says with calm reassurance, �why don�t we take you out
a while. You might want to clean up.�
Light doesn�t respond. L has tried getting him out of the cell for the
past several days and he doesn�t really expect it will work this time,
either.
�Why don�t we try it like this,� he says, taking Light�s wrist and once
again closing the metal link all but forgotten to them both.
Light considers, and, to L�s surprise, ultimately agrees to go.
�Let�s try that, Ryuuzaki.�
