   Summary

   Light managed to liken his condition to that of an insect's metamorphosis. None can stop the caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly. When the moist wings of the butterfly strengthened, it was ready for takeoff. Drowning in bombastic dreams, Light's body was already at the final stages of the metamorphosis. Once he flew, it would be excruciatingly painful to break his wings with force. Even if he was perfected, Light chose not to fly.

   Only Kira could break his butterfly wings now.
