Perfection Is
(L, Near, & Mello)


Nothing lasts forever.


Perfection,
~~~L reflects as he watches the first criminal he caught begin his trial, is getting what you want done.
~~~Near believes as he finishes a blank puzzle without any mistakes for the first time, is achievement.
~~~Mello knows as he smirks and looks over the list of children below him, is when everyone thinks you're perfect.

~~~So perfection, then, is me.
~~~Achievement is a pattern-not an instant.
~~~Determined by what people think, not what you are.

Perfection,
~~~L thinks as he dies, is success.
~~~Near understands as Roger talks, is winning.
~~~Mello swears as he storms out of Roger's office, is power.

~~~And now Kira is perfect.
~~~Being second to a killer... is not enjoyable....
~~~I'll die before I lose to you.

Perfection,
~~~Near realizes as he watches reports of a burning church, is making sure that what you want to be accomplished, is.
~~~Mello sees as his heart stops, is useless.

~~~It's my turn now.
~~~Time's up.

Perfection,
~~~Near decides as he walks away from a warehouse, is a risk best left alone.


Some things never existed at all.
