It was something Near had to face.
It was something he could not ignore.
At least not any longer.
All the possibilities that had been there.
All the dead ends that blocked them.
L had been their beloved goal.
But Kira who killed him,
Kira who destroyed their perfect stranger,
Became their target.
Mello, who never could control himself,
Could not have surpassed L
But that was an impossibility for Near as well.
Together they were the ones to succeed L
But one without the other
Could never
Quite
Get there.
If only….
But no,
Mello would have never
Ever.
Being number one,
Truly winning,
In Mello's eyes,
Would not allow others to share that place of their beloved.
In Mello's eyes,
Only he could win.
Winning was his life.
Naturally,
His loss was his death.
If only,
If only,
These things were different.
