I've finally done it! L is dead. It's kind of sad though, when I lost my memory of the death note I guess he became a friend. We could never have been proper friends though, because he was trying to stop me. L was always going to die, and Kira was always going to win. That's just how it went. But there's one thing that's been bothering me all this time. What exactly was L's real name?

I pick up the death note and open it. I flick past the pages full of criminals names, and finally arrive at a page where there's only two names written.

Quillish Wammy. That must be Watari. I can't imagine L being called Quillish Wammy somehow. And Watari died first, so that must be him. I look down to the second name.

L Lawliet. I laugh. What kind of a name is L? But something seems... familiar here. It's ridiculous, but I swear I recognise the name.

"L Lawliet." When I say it out loud it sounds familiar. But I've never heard of anyone with the first name L.

Now that I think about it though, I know someone with the first name Elle who I once thought could be related to Ryuzaki. But I can't remember her surname...

No matter. I can find out easily from Sayu.

Back at the hotel

Matsuda

I can't beat about the bush any longer. I have to tell her.

"Well, uh, I really don't want to have to be the one to tell you this but uh, L... well, Kira... Kira killed him. I'm sorry! I really didn't want to have to tell you this!"

Elle

What? L is dead? I stare at Matsuda.

"Are you serious?" Please can he be lying, please!

"I'm sorry... I wish I was lying, believe me!"

"No..." I whimper. I saw him twice. TWICE! I only saw my father two times in my whole life. And we didn't even have a proper conversation. "You mean he was murdered by Kira?" I ask, trying not to cry. I won't cry in front of this Matsuda guy.

"Y...yeah, I'm really sorry! I thought I should tell you, in case you thought he just didn't bother or something... I'm sorry! Really sorry!" The fact that I only just saw my father yesterday, and sometime between that and now he had been murdered was horrible! I nod.

"Elle... uh, if it makes you feel better..."

"It won't. Thank you Matsuda, but no thanks. I should go now. Goodbye." I open the door and exit. So... Kira. I'm going to find you, Kira. I'm going to find out who you are, and kill you. Even if you are my best friend's brother.
