[When that needle hits, Izaya is fully expecting to lose consciousness, and he's not sure whether that's better or worse. Probably better for him, though it's a minor advantage when it costs him his eyes. At least it would be some small victory over Mikado's plans, though.
But of course the boy is prepared for that, too. Instead of everything fading to black, Izaya's muscles relax against his will, his body feeling like it's all but melting against the floor. And of course - of course - there is a certain 'she' responsible for that.]
Namie-san...
[Izaya's laugh is brief and hollow, lacking all amusement. He's always expected her to turn against him at some point; that's part of why he hired her, and why he's kept needling her ever since. He'd always hoped to see her when she snapped, hoped to make her snap like she did when they first met. And now... well, now he'll never see her like that again, will he? She gets the last laugh after all. Somehow that's at least a little easier to take than Mikado beating him, even if it's through Namie.]
Always so cruel.
[She should have at least done this herself; she should have cared enough for that.]
