Summary
The moment Light writes in the death note he becomes a killer, but he could not become Kira without L. (L/Light, slow burn — Yotsuba Arc with all the mind-games intact)
"The thing about getting rid of useless pride is that it is a scaffolding built of years. It takes more than the work of a moment; though you are begging in the windowless cell. What was I thinking, putting myself in here? You don’t remember. It’s beginning to disturb you, how much you don’t remember; although when you close your eyes and follow the trail—one event follows upon the other just as you had expected it to; and you can even recall the first time Kira killed, when all you saw was a reporter’s face through the screen of your TV. It was the end of your boredom, because though you were nothing but a spectator to the great battle, you already felt how Kira and L would pull you along in their wake just as any battle between titans would (because you would stand within the event horizon, if only to get closer).
Perhaps that is where you are now. In the quiet dark within the black hole, where your self, gaunt and unfamiliar to you, has already irrevocably been altered. (Suspect. Name: Yagami Light.)"

Matsuda ground his teeth.
Light hadn’t answered any of their questions since they found him blubbering on the stairs. He didn’t even seem to register them, just stared. Stared right at-

Summary
“The neurophysiological footprint of brain activity after cardiac arrest and during near-death experience is not well understood. Although a hypoactive state of brain activity has been assumed, experimental animal studies have shown increased activity after cardiac arrest… Albeit the influence of neuronal injury and swelling, our data provide the first evidence from the dying human brain in a non-experimental, real-life acute care clinical setting and advocate that the human brain may possess the capability to generate coordinated activity during the near-death period.”
“We measured 900 seconds of brain activity around the time of death and set a specific focus to investigate what happened in the 30 seconds before and after the heart stopped beating… Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die.”
L Lawliet dies, and for nine hundred seconds, he remembers.

Tape 11
Suspect: Yagami, Light - Day 3 - Audio only.
Subject: Speculative theory - 2:00AMAcross the top of the tape in big, bold letters reads Confession (Do Not Review)
Light sinks down into the leather chair, knees spread. He has one hand around the glass of whiskey, the other resting on his thigh. With careful ease, his hand drifts down and he unbuckles his belt with one hand as the tape goes on. L’s voice is unchanged, almost clinical in nature. It sounds like he’s pacing as he records, sounds like he’s moving through the room like a ghost dragging chains behind him.
”I began suspecting him long before I had reason to. The data supported it eventually, yes… But It was gut instinct, that was there from the beginning.”

Summary
Even though I feel weak–even if he is unreachable–I still cannot resist trying. Reaching, drawing, hoping to be where he is. This place… beyond the edge of the void… cannot be touched by death, and yet, the light is becoming dimmer.
***
He looked up as he saw her; reaching out to take his hand. He had stood in a ray of fading sunlight, falling into the abyss as she ran faster, only to see the surface expanding. This was it… this was how Kira successfully took a life. The next Kira was the abyss…She caught him over a cliff. He looked up, in total shock. She looked around in desperation. She needed to save him. Every time loop, every event of Steiner, every death… She can’t reverse it. The only thing she could do, she realized, was to swing him back up, at the expense of her own weight

Summary
He looks up. The sky is full of stars like he had never seen before with the moon as its centerpiece.
Light lets the silence consume them for a moment. He places his hands behind his head, a small smile forming across his lips. Behind his back, the earth feels cold but after digging a grave for two hours, he feels like he is in heaven. The night sky stretches out before his eyes, such a vast tapestry of navy blue. The stars flicker like streetlights, so distant and producing so much light that they seem to illuminate everything in view. It’s like looking at a painting and living in it. He closes his eyes for a fraction of a moment, feeling everything. The wind against his skin, the way gravity holds his body down to the ground, his elbow grazing against dark hair next to him. He opens his eyes again, the sky has not changed.
He almost feels sorry for L. He will not be able to enjoy such a night ever again.
L and Light watch the moon and talk. It’s only Light who says a single word.

Summary
L was gone.
Just like that. Dead.
Light had assumed he would be happy. Relieved, even, but the glassy eyes staring back at him brought him not joy, but something else. Something was curling in the pit of his stomach. Something light didn't understand.
