January 28th, 2011

Cars were passing by while honking at each other, teenagers were just out of school and were yelling something about going to a party. Hideki Ide and his colleague Touta Matsuda were starring at those teenagers and cars with a straight face.

"there are still those who believe that Kira is only taking a rest" Ide said while some middle-aged men on motorbikes passed by, "but the world is back to the way it used to be before Kira appeared, isn't it?"

Matsuda didn't react, his face still straight, unmoved.

"It's about time you pulled yourself together, Matsuda"

After a moment of thinking, Matsuda said "I know what you mean, but I still can't help wondering every now and again if we made the right choice"

"Of course we made the right choice!" Ide blurted out, "If not, it would mean that everything we did was in vain"

"I know that, but still…"


Suichi Aizawa was sitting in his office at the National Police Agence, or NPA for short, when his phone rang.

"Watari here. I have a call from L, may I put him trough to you?" Since Near became the new L, Wammy took over Watari's job, but they kept the original names.

"sure, go ahead" Aizawa answered

Watari connected Aizawa with L and L spoke "Mr. Aizawa, I'm sorry for this unexpected call, but a crime syndicate, which I have been personally following for the past six months, will hold a drug deal in Japan. Could you help me catch them in the act?"


Ide's cellphone rang, and he answered it with his usual "Hideki Ide speaking"

"ah, Aizawa… a large drug deal on January 31st at the yellow box warehouse?" Ide nodded, Matsuda looked up.

"where did you get that information?... L…" he sighed, and looked at Matsuda, "okay, I got you" and with that, the conversation was finished.

"It's a syndicate that L's been following for the past six months, so there's a meeting at nine tonight with L" Ide said to Matsuda.

"L… the yellow box warehouse…" Matsuda muttered "It's been exactly a year to the day since that incident, and now this. Maybe it's fate"

"Maybe…"

"So L's going to be leading this one, huh?" Matsuda sighed, "I don't feel up to it…"

"Matsuda" Ide commented.

"Think about it, Near definitely killed Mikami."

"Not that again… that theory of yours is not 'definite'" Ide answered.

"Oh no, I'm sure that I've got this right" Matsuda defended himself, "look… Mikami went crazy in jail ten days after that incident, and died. A year ago, the notebook that Mikami brought with him, happened to be a fake…"

"… so it means that Near had Gevanni switch it, and he had the real notebook with him." He stated, "So I'm sure he must have written something like 'Teru Mikami brings the notebook down to the yellow box warehouse at 1.30PM, January 28th, 2010, with no doubts about the notebook being real, nor testing it to find out if it is so, and goes crazy ten days later and dies"

Ide was still listening carefully, although he heard the story a thousand times before, when Matsuda continued "Near knew that Mikami was a sharp thinker, and he must have assumed that Light told Mikami to test the notebook before coming… so he must have written that in the notebook to stop that from happening. That way, the notebook wouldn't be found out to be a fake, and he also was able to restrict all of Mikami's moves."

"Well, even if that theory is true…" Ide said thinking "…the notebook doesn't exist anymore. So there's no proof."

"Don't you get it?!" Matsuda snapped "that's the very proof of his theory."

He sighed and continued his story "The moment Near found out that the 13-day rule and the rule about everyone dying if the notebook is burnt weren't true, he burned both notebooks on the spot. He was destroying the evidence that he wrote Mikami's name. I'd be too scared to even burn that thing…"

"Whether Mikami was being controlled or not," Ide added, "Light wasn't in a situation where he could get in contact with him, but he may have known if Mikami was being controlled."

Matsuda starred at Ide and said "I know that he was being controlled."

"The only thing that I can say for sure right now is that just like Near said, that notebook…is the worst murder weapon in the history of mankind."

"But Ide," Matsuda said in doubt, "I have a feeling that Near already had an idea that the notebook, which Mikami was walking around with, was a fake when he switced the pages in it"

Ide looked up, "Huh? That's a new one"

"This is how it goes – Near knew that Lidner and Mello were connected, so he had Lidner pass the information he wanted to Mello. That way, he assumed that Mello would make some kind of move." His face was now looking a little sad.

"Once Mello made his move, he'd be able to find out for sure if the notebook was real or not. Even if Mello didn't go that far, Near would be able to get some useful attention"

Some moments of silence fell when Ide spoke up "That's just your imagination. Think about it, Near's the only one who suggested meeting on January 28th in the first place."

"That's why Mello made his move then, to beat Near." Matsuda continued, "And if Mello didn't make his move, or if nothing happened even after Mello made his move… "Sorry, let's call the 28th off" sounds like something Near would say, don't you think?"

"Matsuda, you're thinking about this too much…" Ide vaguely answered "… actually, that's not even speculation"

"Not speculation?" Matsuda asked.

"It's you wish"

Matsuda looked up "Wish?"

"That's right, a wish", Ide said while looking away, "Light may have been Kira… but you were fond of Light, weren't you?"

"My wish…" Matsuda said looking down "…maybe you're right"

You could see the building where Aizawa and Mogi were coming closer into sight.

"As I said before, I've got no doubt that we did the right thing…" Ide sais walking closer to the building.

"How can you be so sure about it, Ide?"

Ide's mouth opened but no sound came out.

"I'm sorry, I know that it's completely twisted of me to compare the Kira society and the current society, but—"

"No," Ide interrupted, "I personally think that you're not twisted at all, and I can't clearly say that Near is righteous. The only reason I say that we did the right thing is because if Near had lost there…"

A moment of silence fell before Ide finished his sentence, "…we'd all be death by now…that's all"

"if you put it that way, I guess you're right." Matsuda laughed sheepishly

They entered the building were Mogi, Aizawa and Yamamoto were.


"Welcome back." Mogi and Yamamoto said in stereo while Aizawa just starred at them.

"Hey, Yamamoto. Can you attend these meetings now? I guess you're moving up" Matsuda said thumbs up. "Once this case is over, let's go drinking again, Yamamoto"

"Huh? Again… not again, Matsuda" he replied.

Suddenly, the big screen behind Aizawa's desk came to life and a big black 'L' with a white background appeared.

"It's L, looks like everybody's here" a voice said, Near's voice, "Well then, I'd like to tell you the details of this case."

"Sure, sure, go ahead" Matsuda said in a singsong voice.

Ide slapped him on the back and said "Matsuda, Get serious"
