Ryuzaki's POV
Shadows. The shadows fall over me. No one has ever seen me before. No one has ever seen my face before. I'm always in the shadows. Never revealing myself, not even my own voice. Why now? Why must I now show my face? Behind this mask, I can eliminate vulnerability. I do not fear being killed, I do not fear death behind this mask because no one can see me. No one can find me. No one can kill me. But now I must show my face. Is this a sign that I'm losing? Am I losing this battle? This battle against Kira? No. I have not given up. Therefore, I haven't lost. I have always remained clandestine to everything. Hidden and secretive. Can I do this? Can I show my face to those I work with now? I can. I know I can. If I can, I lose the battle. And I can't lose. I don't like to lose. I can't afford to lose this battle. I will stake my life on this battle and find Kira and kill him. I will continue to fight after him. And the way I can show that is by revealing my identity. I will show him that I'm not afraid to give up everything to defeat him. Justice will win out over all. I will win this war against Kira. If it's the last thing I do.
The end of another drabble. So this is Ryuzaki's thoughts right before he meets with the rest of the NPA squad and reveals himself. This is after he agrees to meet with them and show his face. So these are his thoughts about the whole matter. Hopefully i've stayed in character. And there's some foreshadowing at the end with the last sentence...ooooo. look at that. xD anyways, please review! Thanks! 3
