Death Note drabbles: Insanity & Illusion

[narcasse]

Kira and L, respectively. Though one them was written quite some time ago.
Not really related to this one really. And on the topic of class alignments, I’d presume L to be Lawful Neutral while Kira might be Chaotic Neutral all things considered.


Insanity

What nobody ever mentions is that genius is like dying, like floating and falling suspended in time. Waiting for the chance to face a worthy adversary: it’s all about borrowed time.
The man with many faces or many names, without a face is mad: his victims unlucky chances he couldn’t ever take. Each one of them absolutely justifiable in their fall.

He’s a saviour; brining justice to all. Both are. Mirror images, differences all the same.
The boy who’s breaking just an experiment, a specimen in a game. Nobody wants to think that it is L who is really insane.

Illusion

The joke is that L is just as false a persona as Ratio... or should that be Kira? Some days it’s hard to tell. Or Ryuuzaki or Ryuuga or whatever the hell else L chooses to call himself.

It’s not that Ratio cares really, only that the joke is getting a little stale.

L isn’t real: Kira is a psychopath or a god, depending. Neither of them substantial.
Ratio is no altruist; he wants to be a god. L doesn’t care about justice; he wants to circumvent boredom.

So it’s easy to forget what exactly is meant to be real...
