I was so upset when L died. It almost seemed like he knew what was going to happen. (Curse you Kira! We were cool till you killed L!) Anyway, my take on Lawliet a.k.a Ryuuzaki's a.k.a 2 L's last moments.
To all you L fans, feel the angst and sadness of episode 25. To all you non-L fans, you suck.
Blind
He knew.
It was only a matter of time before L made the one discovery that would push Kira into killing him. He was a threat after all, to a world of "justice" and "peace". L shook the foundation of a possibility in living within a utopia.
Ryuuzaki briefly wondered if Light ever read The Giver as a child. A place where everyone feared not doing right instead of doing right because it was . . . right.
The death knell rang horribly in his ears. The guttural gong, the ear shattering toll. It became louder and louder as of recent.
"I don't hear anything," Light scoffed in annoyance.
He wasn't sure whether or not to be happy that Light couldn't hear them. It would mean that his rival and reluctant friend would live a little longer.
And that many others would not.
The detective did not think in the slightest that Light would flinch from his touch. It was more foreshadowing that Light wouldn't last too long in the utopia he was building for himself. Thinking on it, it seemed as though Yagami had done it, not because he wanted justice to be served, but because he wanted the ability to judge and feel like he could bestow the wrath of God. The wrath of God would certainly come . . .
"You'll get used to it," Ryuuzaki told Light quietly, massaging the foot of his partner. He would get used to the people kneeling to worship his feet. Towering above others who wouldn't dare to meet his eyes, people who could only look up at he who sat on a pedestal; that would become normalcy.
Just as Ryuuzaki was doing for Light now.
There would be no equality, no peace because peace isn't an absence of war or violence. It is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, justice, confidence. And what confidence was there in people who feared doing something so natural to them: making mistakes?
Dying alone would be that much more devastating to Light once he realized he had no one to depend on in his last moments. Because his supporters did not sustain him, rather depended on him.
It made him . . . sad to think that it would take dying alone for Light to realize what unspeakable horrors he committed and regret them, not because it was wrong but because he was going to die for it.
It made him sad to know that he wouldn't be able to see Near and Mello again.
They both said they were justice that day he verbally confronted Light.
And justice is blind.
Lawliet closed his eyes for the last time.
