Clue #007 :.: L (Ryuzaki) :.: [Text, Private to Himself]

You're watching us, aren't you?

I have a proposition for you.

That cannot be a permanent solution. Nothing in a story can be unchangeable.

...Perhaps a probation period. They will be able to earn back the privilege or simply wait out a sentence.

[Like in real life.]

Two weeks without weapons for those who committed a crime with a weapon.

A month for assault. Longer for murder and sexual assault.

No more than six months.

[He would argue for longer, but he's hoping he'll have somehow found a way out by then.]

All right. Six months.

Murder and sexual assault should have another punishment. Harsher. Their behaviour should not be tolerated.

Is the wrath of the victim's friends too little?

Vengeance is not justice.

Consequences will not last forever.

That statement only reinforces your amateur status as a writer.

Is that how you would like to bargain with her?

No.

I am simply making an observation.

What would you suggest the penalty for murder to be, L?

I stick with the idea of banishment of some kind. But you do not seem keen on that.

Banishment cannot last more than three days. Death is decided randomly.

Longer for banishment. They will nothing otherwise.

There can be no longer banishment. There can only be death or pain or disability.

Disability? In addition to the removal of weapons?

Correct.

Such as?

Such as loss of limb, loss of senses, loss of power, loss of organs...

... Loss of power.

[The rest sound... a bit too inhumane for his tastes.]

Then those who kill shall lose weapons and a single power.

... All right.

[He's sick of this back and forth.]

Then we have made a deal. You will fall in love. We will enforce your laws.
