When the Kira murders start, it doesn’t take Klavier long to pick a side, though he’s utterly perplexed and slightly alarmed at the number of his fellow law students who are perfectly happy to support a serial killer.
He’d think it’d be that much clearer, to those currently studying the inner workings of the law, all the little imperfections and inconsistencies that show that this is the product of human hands. Prosecutors occasionally get things wrong. He may joke about a ‘courtroom in concert’, but it’s not all that much of a joke. It’d be the ideal, really, all involved working in harmony to find the truth. Justice is a collaborative effort, an area where those involved keep striving for improvement but can never achieve perfection. One individual claiming they know better than every single person involved from the highest judge to the lowest court scribe is an arrogance beyond even a young man toying with the idea of becoming a rock star, just as a hobby, you understand. That laws and morality is universal, that none make mistakes. It quickly comes out that some of those killed were falsely accused, trapped by misleading evidence, but it comes as to no surprise to Klavier, not when this Kira had gone after those merely doing their jobs, ostensibly on the same side. The killer is not omniscient, which precludes the possibility that he (statistically, more probable) knows without a doubt the innocent from the guilty. It’s a mere delusion that he does so.
It’s only years later that he comes to another realization: the world was lucky indeed that Kristoph did not obtain Kira’s power.
