For A, it was too much. A bent beneath the pressure, and ended his own life. A's death increased my unquenchable hatred for L. A's death also spurred my exodus from Wammy's and England. I moved to L.A. to carry out an unsolvable case for the so-said "world's greatest detective." My case would have been unsolvable, as I have the eyes of a shinigami. I could see everyone's – anyone's – name and the date on which they were destined to leave this life; unfortunately this discluded myself. Why unfortunately? It's because I intended to be my last "victim." Why myself? I had formed plans in which I would set myself on fire – destroying any possible evidence.
