destruction
The cat skeleton was completely assembled, and Lawliet was still crouching there, staring at it.
Eventually Light stood up and walked over, staring down at the unmoving Lawliet for a while, before he kicked the cat skeleton, scattering the pieces in the ash.
Lawliet looked up at him with dark, reproachful eyes. 'What was that for, Kira?'
'You looked so distraught that it was completed,' said Light. 'I thought I'd help you out.' He pulled handfuls of bones from his pockets and dropped them among the scattered bones of the cat, mixing in pieces from other puzzles and confounding the picture. 'Wouldn't want you to get bored, after all.' He gave pile another kick for good measure, hands in his empty pockets.
Lawliet reached out and began carefully organizing the pieces of skeleton into piles by bone type. 'What does Kira plan on doing, then?' He paused with a scapula held carefully between two fingers, glancing up through his dark bangs. 'Still planning on taking over this world?'
Light looked at him expressionlessly. 'There's no point in becoming the God of a dead world, L.'
Lawliet turned his attention back to organizing the bones, setting aside all those that did not fit, or which had cracked when Light had kicked them. 'For someone so brilliant, it sure took you a long time to figure that out.'
Light shifted his gaze away and looked out into the empty distance, still and silent.
