[He hears her speaking, understands her words, but ignores them - poison? No, this wasn't natural. It wasn't normal. It was...]
[Well, a little like he himself, wasn't it? This sight he had, that he had lived with until the idea that it wasn't common was such an alien concept, something that had shaped the way he viewed the world. And everyone in it.]
[If he could see their lives, was it possible that there was someone who could take them? The man who had died on live tv, at the trial, Godfrey... no one had touched him, she said. Maybe no one had to. Maybe simply seeing was enough. The media reports alone would be more than useful in that regard... and wasn't that what she had said, as well?]
[How unfair. Why couldn't he have been able to do that?]
[One thing was for sure, however - if his suspicions were correct, Naomi would have no chance of solving this case, retired or no. It simply wasn't possible by normal criminal standards. It was a perfect crime, utterly.]
[A crime that not even L could solve, perhaps.]
[...fuck this guy, whoever he is.]
No, that is true.
[He begins to put the photographs back into the envelope, then stops.]
[On the other hand...]
[When Beyond looks back up at Naomi, his expression has changed again. Not really, because it doesn't, but his eyes seem to shine a little brighter than they normally do, which isn't very much to begin with. And maybe his posture isn't quite as bad, although it's still very terrible.]
Naomi, this question is a difficult one. Perhaps we should think of it from a different angle. Not the means, but the motivation. Going back to what you said before, about making it look like something it's not.
