[The very tiny liquor bottles are distracting, even comical. L has to pause a full several seconds just to appreciate their absurdity.
No amount of absurdity, however well-timed, can truly derail the detective when he's on one of his relentless neural routes.]
If justice was easy to execute in any world, there wouldn't be associated professions. If everyone just knew or understood it, crime rates would be nonexistent... I'm convinced that no one commits a crime who believes that it is fully wrong to do so. It's been committed wholly because even if only 1% can be rationalized- a desperate motive, systemic unfairness, mental illness or past trauma- a person will use it to call their actions a personal brand of justice.
[He sounds both very sure of this, and very disdainful.]
When the deeds are the reasons a person is known, before the name... a placeholder is given, it's true.
[Kira was one such placeholder, a sorry cover for what should have been Light Yagami, all over the news, for every friend and classmate and family member to see.]
When the criminal is unmasked, every name they carry should be held accountable. The sensationalized placeholder, the name they carry in their hearts, the name their parents chose and called them.
[No stone, at all, left unturned. No title or nickname permitted innocence... and one true name that's deadly, in the hands of one with a murder notebook, of course.]
