"….you too have failed me."
There was no reply. Of course not. It was just further proof of Mello's failure.
"L. And now you."
The Kira case. It was a puzzle he had fought long and hard to solve, and each piece of the puzzle had cost him dearly. Damnit. Kira's- no, Light Yamgai's death was not enough to balance the scales against the countless deaths caused during his rein. Near's eyes fluttered shut, invisioning Yagami's life weighed against all that had fallen. It was not just number of deaths that condemned Kira. No, it was the weight of certain deaths that tipped and then broke the scale. If each the criminals killed was represented by a pebble dropped on the scale against Kira, the deaths of L, Mello and Matt- carried the weight of the world. He wished to punish Kira a million times over for each of them. An eye for an eye. A death of a death. Yet Kira had only forfeited one life- it was not enough.
Misa Misa was equally as guilty of these crimes but unfortuatly; she escaped the hand of justice by committing suicide shortly after Lights's own death. Mikami was likewise dead. Only one enitiy remained left to pay- the shinigami Ryuk.
Near fingered the seemingly inoccent looking notebook that laid on the floor at his feet. Was it possible to kill a being that was already dead? If there was a way, Near vowed he would find it.
To be continued….
