Summary: xxvii. Foreign. L travelled the world.


Foreign

L travelled the world. He'd been to every foreign country, many twice. He had met the most powerful men in the world and they deferred to him. He never stayed long in any one place, certainly not long enough to call it home. And yet there was something about England that lodged itself into his unconsciousness. Against all logic, he experienced a heavy sense of relief whenever Wammy told him they would be spending time in London.

Technically he was a foreigner in England. His mother was born in America and his father in Japan. They'd met in Tokyo when she was over for a semester of study abroad. They hadn't even been to England before their death. It was Wammy who travelled to Tokyo to look into the nine year old orphan genius and brought the boy back to London. He was thirteen when he started travelling the world. No matter how many foreign countries he went to, England was always home.
