The magazines sold in all the stores show a pleasant young girl, with respect and self esteem. The magazines show Misa-Misa.

Who would have thought that such a pretty, cute little girl could secretly been in love with a criminal? With Kira, one of the most feared in Japan? With a murderer?

No one would. And that's why she's so perfect.

So as she's strapped to the chair that looks like a torture device and L stares at her through his computer screen, L isn't fooled.

Not by her hair, or her confidence, or her perfection. L can see past all that.

He can see past her acts.

But that doesn't mean he won't sympathize.
