[Their Bond is clouded over, at least on L's end, with ambivalence. There's a keening desire to accept what Myr is saying, even as there's the dull certainty that it just can't be true, that no one who wasn't in his and Mello's situation back home could fully understand the pressures and debts that came with all of it.]
For the record... I offered nothing of that nature specifically.
[A blank check, to be filled out (or not) as Mello desired. That was the test, and the results are dismally clear. It hurt their Bond more than it helped, without question.]
He was a child when this all started. He was a child when I died.
[He's hardly mature, now. Neither of them are.]
When an orphan gives all of himself to something... a person, or an idea, or a cause... he's changed for it. Of course he would expect someone to answer for his sacrifice; it was important that he had full control over what he would choose to be given.
[Even now, L pities Mello, deeply. More than he did before. Passion has a way of destroying what it holds the most dear, and Mello will never cease to be a casualty of the vicious tendency.]
