Beyond drew an "L" and a "B" on the wall and floor, laughing like a mad man.
'If L a genius, then B an extreme genius, if L's a freak, then B's an extreme freak! Kyahahahaha! I'm the only one good enough for you, and you for me!'
Lawliet left the orphanage that night, and with him, Beyond Birthday fled away, but took a different path.
Some years later, in 2002, Beyond made his entry again, in Los Angeles, though the story of what he did there is written somewhere else, but the most important thing is that although L hunted to stop him, he's never shown his face to anyone, and let Naomi Misora to work in his stead.
'The killer is…' Lawliet said, '…B.'
Lawliet knew from the beginning that Beyond was the culprit of the 'Wara Ningyo murders from L.A.', he knew… because no one could ever have the guts to challenge the Great L, except B. He wanted to show to this World, that there is a crime without a conclusion, without catching the killer, although B left clues, no one was able to catch him.
But, after Beyond's circumstances, to be the last victim of his plan, to surpass L, to kill himself to create the perfect crime… could be L the guilty one? Was L going to miss him?
Maybe not.
A monster without feelings towards a poor young shinigami, who begged for his attention.
He didn't die, he was saved by Naomi, also called by Naomi Massacre.
'He cares for me' Beyond told himself when he woke up in the hospital, with severe burns. 'L cares for me, he wouldn't let me die, but this means I lost to him!'
B lost to L, and not even the thought of 'L cares for me' didn't comfort him. Probably nothing was consoling him, he thought he was still alive to feel humiliated for his sins.
The challenge did nothing but to drive Beyond away with his tail between his legs and Lawliet was sure B was now longing for death.
The truth is, Beyond, as a person, was nothing but a tool to his plan.
That's shame.
More shame was in the date of 21st January 2004.
Watari pulled a fax paper with a number of victims killed by Kira from that day, and gave it to Lawliet.
Holding the sheet of paper with two fingers, his eyes instantly dropped to the "B" letter.
Yes, it was there: '545 – Beyond Birthday, L.A. prison – cause of death= heart attack'
In that moment, Lawliet felt something in his stomach, all the sweet he'd been eaten tasted bitter, that made him spilling back on the table everything he had in his mouth.
'Ugh!' was all the sound he made.
He writhened in that position of a abandoned child. His eyes stung, he rubbed with the edge of the sleeve and noticed it was wet: he was crying.
'They will hurt more if you rub like that' said Watari and he wiped Lawliet's tears away with a tissue.
'Beyond Birthday died… Watari… I loved him' he murmured. 'Kira,… it was Kira!'
Watari was nothing, it was useless anyway.
Lawliet leaned down, holding his head on the knees, wrapping his arms around his body, rocking back and forth, moaning in pain.
