Hm, well if you had to ask me... I believe she would be more relieved than anything else. [ And he responds with a solemn smile; he's not saddened by the confession, but it obviously isn't being said in a delightful tone for a reason. ] That isn't to say that I'm some casanova with a record of breaking hearts, but rather I believe that she would be... better without a person like me.
[ She makes a troubled face for a few moments, trying to understand what he means. Sure, she had felt like Light might be better off without her at times, but that only drove her to become useful to him, become something irreplaceable. ]

I believe it's possible for me to care for someone... in a platonic sort of way. But love wouldn't be the correct description for it, just devotion and care, the word is much too big for me to use without a care in the world.

[ She can't imagine a life without love. Love is what makes the world go 'round, gives her life meaning. ]
You don't think you can love anyone? Or is it just her...?
