There was a difference between a human monster and the monster whose only response to a contract going bad was a smile. [Response to the PSoH Drabble challenge "will-o'-the-wisp."]

D wasn't human - he'd known that all along, even if he didn't really believe it. Sure, he'd seen humanity at its worst during his time on the force, but there was a difference between the monsters Leon brought in and the monster who sold freaky pet after freaky pet, whose only reaction to it going wrong was a smile.

Human monsters were real - something he could grab, slap some handcuffs on, and lock away forever. D was more like a shadow, a will-o'-the-wisp. Something you couldn't trap.

Something you couldn't stop with a bullet to the head, either.
