Summary
Light stares at the ceiling and contemplates godhood. Again.
Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?
Not love. Not lust. Not whatever hideous tragicomic comedy of errors last night was.
It’s worship.
And L—L is a demon kneeling at the wrong altar, daring the god of death to smite him. And Light, well—
He is the altar.
The fire.
The knife.
He is the god.
And gods are not merciful, but they are very good at pretending.
Or, the god kissed the heretic, and called it penance.

Summary
The chain between them shuddered.
They were bound together by more than cuffs and secrets. They were tethered by ego, intellect, obsession, and something that might—might—have been love, if either of them had ever been taught how to name it without drawing blood.
They were tethered by the tragedy of being the only two people alive who could meet the other on the battlefield of belief and not flinch.
They were gods, both of them. Incompatible, inevitable, insufferable.
And so very lonely.
Or, how they played god and fell like men.
