            “YOU NO LONGER have any jurisdiction in regards to what happens to me. The fact that you should even know of that House is grounds for your murder, don’t you know?”

PERHAPS IN ANOTHER setting, his tone would be almost playful, teasing in its childish threat ( ‘i’ll kill you’ is rarely a threat to a woman like her, he thinks ). But his voice was tired, as if it hurt to speak, & his spiteful words hung heavy in its gravity; vexation brought forth merely from her presence before him rather than the thought of her evident demise.

            “& NO ONE WOULD notice if you disappeared."

SWALLOWED BITTERNESS BARELY pressed back the vindictive nature of his tone, his limp body leaning against the cold concrete of his cell as his dry lips peeled into a sort of grotesque smile ( a spiteful sort of disgust made uglier when upon his marred face ). It was not a question, it was a statement, a vulgar, petty victory. You needed me.

            “EVEN SOMEONE LIKE you wouldn’t dream of something like that. ‘A way of killing someone from seeing their face alone’?”

            “YOU’RE ASKING THE wrong question, Lawliet.”

                                             & RYOET. 

             ` i’m not surprised that you’d think that. but - that’s not the case. in all actuality, I plan on keeping you alive. so, how about it? I help keep you alive and you help me keep my friends alive with your diary’s predictions. while you’re not obligated, there’s not many other options to explore given the circumstances. so, what do you say? ’

            ‘I PLAN ON KEEPING YOU ALIVE’, he had said. A smile played on his lips, one that did not quite reach the eyes that were still locked on the stranger’s. ‘I plan on keeping you alive,’ he had said. It was presumptuous, a decent offer made bitter by poor rhetoric. 

            “ARE you really so dangerous that I should be at your mercy like this?”

B is younger than L (castle and i and i decided that he’d be 3 yrs younger) and since L was 20 when the BB cases happened, that puts B at age 17. which is good for him, because the death penalty was only barred in California in 2014. though they haven’t implemented that penalty since 2006 in that state, it’s very possible that had B been an adult, he would’ve gotten that sentence rather than a lifetime + 30 yrs conviction.

                  What is the true reason to be nice? What is true KINDNESS?                   QUESTIONS Akito could never ask themselves. You could                   possibly say Akito is a LOST soul. That carries too much power                   BEHIND all the stress that is laid upon that petite body. 

                  HATRED && LOVE filled the BODY. Another day is passing before the eyes                                     ofGOD. Yet ;; what day lays uponthe RAVEN? It could be anyone’s guess.                                                       HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE.                                                       LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.                                                                                           They’re too similar. 

                                                      A SMILE.  Filled the pale features.

                                                                                ❝I’m sorry, I’m I in y o u r way?❞

            THEIR NAME WAS AKITO SOHMA, and the numbers hovering over their head was a reassuring figure, integers racking up years upon years of a future he knew he’d never be able to take away, even if he tried. And when he moved his phone down from where he had held it up, the numbers appeared in even clearer resolution, and the stranger looked upon him with a smile that did not seem to reach their eyes.

            “WELL, unless you’d like to be the subject of the photo, yes,” he hummed, peering over his screen. “Though I guess I wouldn’t mind, if you went back to the expression you were making before.”

            A RED blush of embarrassment flushed her pale cheeks, a look of complete shock painted her once gracious fingers but a bat her lash & everything was wiped away. They were grieving, & it was quite normal for one to lash out… Mami silently chastised herself, for she was warned that he was the most difficult among the bunch. Isolated mainly, often snappy with remarks but always alone. Death was a difficult thing to deal with, but if perhaps some other emotion was hidden behind such deceptive features, then that would call for a whole new set of precautions.

                INSTEAD of moving on, she knelt beside him & quietly scanned the room,                                                          pursing her lips in thought.

            ’  I WAS told that maybe if they were to talk someone more their age…. you & the others would open up more. Qualification has very little to do with your recovery, & many people are worried about you. While I will talk to H later about that, right now I would like to speak to you… is that alright ?  ’

            “I WOULD ARGUE THAT QUALIFICATION has a lot to do with it. I could try taking advantage of you, knowing you’re not fit for the job.”

THERE was little hesitance in his voice, nor was there any sort of entertainment in his explanation. He was not interested in a therapy session with someone as sickeningly sweet and clingy, and had little reason to put down his comics for the sake of playing along to make her feel better.

AND there was less of a point in trying to do so, just to get her off his back, when it had been made clear, to both Wammy and the other Letters, that of all the children in this orphanage, B was deviant and unusual, and thus, was expected to pull this sort of strange attitude. Whether he was actually upset or not was something they could only agree on through a coin toss. A behavioral pattern foreign to them was not worth examining at all, when it had become so normalized through living with him.

            “THE only thing people are worried about is that I’ll do something that they can’t comprehend. My feelings don’t really matter, and me being upset won’t bring A back. And I should hope not, because his corpse has probably experienced skin slippage by now and I’d really rather not see something like that running after me.”

            “THAT’S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE. I definitely have heard of you before.”
