Day 2. Competition

In her own eyes Misa is too good to be rejected by anyone. Unfortunately, the target of her affection had been dating someone who is equally good. Or better.

Well, never better.

chapter two is here 🥹 is it a love triangle or am i normal

the answer is neither, btw

L telling yo mama jokes about Kira’s mom while silently daring Light to come to the defense of a woman he doesn’t even know, I mean it’s Kira’s mother, anyone who raised such a horrible murderer must be the worst parent in the world. I bet she’s ugly too. I bet she was lying when she told Kira how proud she was about his test scores

Light Yagami's fingers twitch around his coffee cup.

"I'm sorry," L says, "does this upset you?"

"Of course it doesn't upset me," Light says, smiling brightly. His eyes crease shut when he smiles. Windows of the soul: closed for today, come back tomorrow. "I'm just not sure what this has to do with catching Kira."

"Well, we are trying to profile Kira," L says. "Which includes his relationships with his parents. You called him an affluent child, yes?"

"Yeah."

"It would make sense for Kira's mother to be neglectful," L muses. "He has all of Mommy's money and none of her love. That would give anyone a chip on their shoulder."

"What, you think Kira has an inferiority complex? Why would he? You said it yourself, he thinks what he's doing is justice."

"An attempt to discipline the world," L says. "Perhaps as a reflection of a lack of his mother's gentle guidance?"

"Or his father's," Light says.

"…Go on."

Light's knuckles whiten. L very carefully does not smile. "I'm just saying, I don't know why you're focusing on his mom all of a sudden. It's not like it's the fault of parents when their children choose to become delinquent. Besides, there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of neglectful parents just in Tokyo. It won't narrow down our suspect pool—"

Ah, another trademark Light Yagami monologue. L decides to take the time to eat his cake.

"—and don't you think that it's unfair to say such things about a woman, even if she did raise a murderer?" Light crosses his arms. "Calling her ugly, really, Ryuga? That's kind of sexist."

L tucks his knees tighter to his chest in an attempt to increase his willpower enough to stop himself from cackling. "You think I'm sexist."

"It's not a personal attack," Light says. "But it's always good to reexamine your unconscious biases."

Well, he's wrong. L's biases are very conscious. For example, Light Yagami is absolutely Kira. "Thank you, Yagami-kun, I'll keep that in mind."

"You're welcome," Light says, heroically.

"I suppose that I should feel sorry for her, then."

"Sorry?"

"This poor, overworked woman who has her hands full taking care of such a spoiled child."

"Just because he's affluent doesn't mean he's spoiled," Light snaps.

"I can't imagine how heartbroken she would be to know her son was a murderer," L barrels on mournfully. "You're right, Yagami-kun. I should have empathized with her position. This must be very hard for her."

"I'm glad you're more in touch with women's struggles now, Ryuga." Light takes a sip of his coffee. His face is blank when he puts it down. "So about the profile for the actual murderer—"

"I still think she lied about the test scores, though," L says, and that's what gets Light to start screaming at him.

one of the issues of being obsessed with death note is that it’s not comforting

like when i was having a panic attack in the hospital they were like what’s your favorite show can you watch that and no! i don’t think seeing a teenager commit mass murder is gonna help! i believe it would make the anxiety worse and id cry harder!
