"I talked to your boyfriend. He's a nice guy," L said thoughtfully. "Even if his romantic advice wasn't very helpful. If he's a cop, he knows that he's working for a corrupt system that's rotting from the inside. A corrupt system that allowed Sherman to intimidate and threaten you, his boyfriend, who is in danger; you're looking less human lately. When my grandfather fled Europe in 1933 he was looking less human. Laws change because people make them; I'm just committing myself to right and wrong, and sleeping pretty well as a result."
