    Summary

    Putting a name to something changes everything, because now you have to live with the certainty of the fact.

    Light has hanahaki disease. Light is going to die. Light is going to die because he... well.

    (Had he wanted? The way his fingers itched, his skin crawled every night of their cohabitation from the impulse to both get closer and run far, far away? Was it desire from that very first night, when he’d doubled over and slammed his fists into his desk, cheeks stained red with fury, and heat roiling in his gut? And L had looked back with his hungry, twin black hole eyes, and had tried to devour him first.)

    Light wasn’t sorry for killing him.

    It wasn’t so much desire as it was wanting to dominate, and to tear him down, tear him apart and eat him. Obliterate his body into a billion subatomic particles and enmesh them in his own, embed them between every one of his own cells and become one.

    He supposed he had succeeded, in a half way. Light was L. They were one. But it was empty, and victoryless.
