Sometimes, when Light Yagami was younger, he used to stay up late on Friday evenings and watch the news with his father. His father spent so much of his time working at the police station, that times like these were treasured. It would be just the two of them; both his mother and younger sister were asleep, and Light would listen intently as his dad talked about the different things that came up on the screen.
It normally didn't take long for the newscasters to begin talking about the country's latest crime, and every time they did, some of Light's happiness would ebb away. While he understood why his father spent so much time away from home, and why sometimes he paid more attention to the little convicts on the screen than he did his own family, he couldn't help but be upset.
Sometimes Light wished that the people who did bad things would just go away, so that he would be able to spend more time with his father.
