Summary
“Why keep your souls on the outside like that?” Ryuk asks. What a brat. He knows full well that this is one of the few topics Light is likely to indulge him in. He must be especially bored if he’s prodding like this.
“They say it’s the great equalizer.” Light says, only looking up when he sees a flash of white that means Aki’s hopped onto his desk. He rolls his chair back so she can curl up on his lap, ready for him to stroke her fur while he thinks. “Everyone, rich or poor, young or old, criminal or saint, has a soul. And we can all see each other’s souls. Some people think it’s the universe’s way to keep us honest. After all, there’s no way to mask a daemon.”
Ryuk laughs. The corner of Light’s mouth twitches up. What a joke. No way on earth, maybe.
