Wary that L still watches him, Light Yagami arranges to keep killing in plain sight. He sits before the hidden cameras in his room watching television and quietly ends the lives of petty criminals as the broadcasts name them, while committing the worst offenders to memory for later. By this method the killings carry on whether or not he appears to be watching. Majime is one of the lesser criminals whose name Light writes into the Death Note.
