Mello-

What can I say to make you remember the good times?

maybe we never had any after all.

I always like to think to myself and say that after all we have been through we somehow had bonded, but I guess I was wrong. I know I will be guessing a lot while I think about this situation. Why would you leave me like you did? I know technically it wasn't your fault but I wasn't done with you and now you are gone. You just had to be so god damn stubborn? You are so stupid! What was the point of what you did? You didn't prove anything. You didn't go down in history as a great hero who stopped this tremendous malevolent man. You weren't on a pedestal in people's living rooms. You made no difference in anyone's life. But I am stuck remembering who you are. Who do you think you are? No one even knows your real name, and I doubt you exist on government records. Did you think you were...You could have been my friend. We were in the same place. Same unfortunate situation. We could have been allies. What did you have to prove against me? Nothing. You didn't know that though. You thought I just assumed authority over you, that I was the better man. or boy...We haven't even gotten through one forth of our life yet. Why waste it so suddenly. You didn't prove anything that you could have if you would have stayed alive and now here I am with no one. He is dead, he is also dead, and now you are dead.

such a final word.

Dead.

You are dead.

And I never even got to say that I wanted to be your friend. That I wanted to be around you for companionship. That I wanted you to be happy and not so inconveniently pissed off all of the time. That I wanted to be proud of your accomplishments. That I wanted you to succeed.

I never even got to say thank you.

Despite what you may have thought before, you were the only person that ever talked to me. And even if the talking consisted of yelling on your part and indifference on mine, I enjoyed our conversations. They made me feel like I wasn't so alone. I am alone.

I hope that after this all clears out and I can wipe this blank expression off of my face it will all be worth it. This case being solved is what you wanted isn't it? I can make that happen. But when it is done, what will be left of you? My memories? that's all you are now I suppose..

A memory of mine.

And I will remember that for years to come.

Thank you Mello, for all those memories. I am your only connection to the world now and I will make sure that you won't go forgotten.

Surley there will come a time where I will perish to. I hope to meet with you then.

But for now, forever yours and always.

-Near.
