whatheyvedone[It shouldn't be so comfortable here, in the dark hole that is the flat he's rented for Beyond, and yet it is. Quiet, and private, and away from the general tumult of the world.]
[Beyond himself can be quiet, and chatty at times (the way Ryuzaki is, and they sit the same way, too, with their backs curled around their knees, their thumbs pressed beneath their lips to to the edge of their bottom lip) - quiet at the moment. And it's peaceful in a way, in this corner of the world with no masks, no pretense. The only other... creature with whom he is so free is Ryuk and, well that isn't quite the same thing.]
[Light leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. In the background, the television flickers and drones, quietly and steadily. The news, of course. The news is always on. ]
[He lowers his head, watching the screen with his eyes turned up. Only days ago, there had been a conversation between Kiyomi Takada and that young prosecutor Light has worked with on occasion. Only days ago, there had also been a rash of heart attacks visited by God upon those who most vehemently and most openly opposed Kira - visited by God, or by Kira. Perhaps, in a way, the same thing. And he wonders if Beyond saw those stories - the police, almost certainly unless he had been asleep at the time, which Light doubts. If he is anything like Ryuzaki (and is he anything like Ryuzaki? Where does the act end, the reality begin?) then he will barely sleep at all.]
[He sighs.]
By the end of this, I'll split the world in half.
