I hope so. It would be nice if I could convince Light to do the same, too...I mean, yeah, I'll always be grateful for what he did as Kira. Back when I was in that courtroom and I had to look at the face of my parent's killer every day, I just wanted everything to end. And when they were leaning towards him being innocent, I thought the whole world was rotten. I didn't want any part of it.
Then Kira brought justice. He saved my life, saved me from myself...and then, of course, Gelus protected me in his own way, too, from that terrible stalker...and I thought the only way I'd really be able to do some good with my life was to make it up to Kira. To avenge my parents, to make sure by any means necessary that what happened to me wasn't happening to anyone else. So that's what I did. And then I fell in love and you know the rest, but...
My whole life after that was love and revenge. And revenge and justice are...kind of different, is what I'm learning. Ambitious is proof of that. Light, though, he's not Kira for revenge. He's Kira because he wants to make the world a better place and this is the best way he knows how, given what he found.
[ ...But that's not true, either. At the end of the day, he was Kira because he was bored out of his mind. Not that she'll ever admit that. ]
I hope I can convince him, though. And maybe...maybe we can put our heads together, find some way to make the world a better place without just murdering anyone we think goes too far. I'm no good with big plans like that, so, I'm not gonna be the one who comes up with the ideas, but, what I do have is a lot of stubbornness, and a really, really huge hatred of criminals. ...So maybe a Death Note isn't exactly the answer, not the way I'm using it right now, but, I'll try my best to find out what is.
