God watches me all along; He guides me to the light but lives in the darkness. The day that he approves me to be his right hand man has finally come. It is my duty to make judgement. Now, with this pair of eyes, I will reign justice for you. I will eliminate the evil. God, I am at your service. ~ Mikami
Being watched tightly with suspicion. I can no longer act freely as who I really am. With no other choice, I hope it isn't wrong to entrust the duty to you. It is my duty to maintain the justice. With the power I have, I can allow who lives and dies. If you are what I have expected you to be, Mikami, I will let you live only as my eyes. ~Light
Light and Mikami have never met in person before, thus the image of them shown standing back to back.
It is in Mikami's own assumption that his God, Kira, is righteous and leading him towards what he believes is good, aka judgement.
However, Light holds the power of the death note in his hands, pulling the strings from behind.
Thus the reason Mikami faces the light and Light (Raito) is enshrouded in the darkness.
The subtle light shining on Raito's face through the trees could also resemble the risk of his hidden identity as Kira being exposed.
