Light was dead. That was all Misa knew. She also understood her orders. Reluctantly Misa followed the plan. From the first day she was brought here, Misa knew she would have to return by herself someday. With a deep sigh, she boarded the elevator for her long ride to the past.

At the top floor she emerged into headquarters. She could still picture the dead. Matsuda and Aizawa sitting at the table with Mogi. Aizawa and Mogi in constant deliberation and Matsuda with his clownish remarks. Chief Yagami taking everything in with his determined features. Lighto taking charge against Kira. Or so it seemed at the time.

Misa shook her head. She was not here to reawaken the dead. Her mission was far more important than that.

Just like she was told, there was a letter waiting for her on the table with her next instructions. They told her to walk down an adjacent hallway to the last door on the left. Then once she was in there, she was to look for the secret panel in the wall and lay her palm against the scanner. Misa, obediently as ever, followed the directions.

"I thought it would've taken you longer." Misa could not believe who she was staring at.
