Summary: Drabble. L thinks about his connection with Light. Spoilers for L's Real Name.
It's strange how similar we are, Raito-kun and I. Our minds follow similar pathways to the truth and we finish each other's sentences with alarming regularity. A part of me is glad that my first friend is such a kindred spirit, while another part of me is troubled at seeing myself in Kira's eyes.
It's the name that seals it, however. My name, which I will never, can never, share with him. It's that name which sends our connection from a simple coincidence, into the bizarre. For my name is Lawliet, but in katakana it is spoken rou-raito.
